COPPER, COPPER AND MORE COPPER!



How I love Copper! Yesterday's class was, of course, Copper and what a fun class it was with a fantastic teacher! We made our first piece and when we were finished, Colleen gave each of us two brass discs to make another one but I have not finished mine! As soon as I finish it, I will put in on my blog.

We used the rolling mill and then we cut tubing which none of us had ever done before and Colleen's big secret was the Super Glue for Copper - it is a little pricey but how often would you use it so the $15.00 for the Glue is worth it!

Copper classes are always so much fun and I can't wait to take the copper class in August - I will have to start giving some of my pieces to my sisters!

Thank you, Colleen, sure did enjoy it!

Down, Down and Away


Down, Down & Away! I was going to name this What Goes Up Must Come Down, however, there are a few dirty minds out there that I changed my mind!

I borrowed Carla's Inversion Table to help take the pressure off of my lower back and it does help - you don't have to completely hang upside down but it does feel better that way! I looked at this picture and saw that my working out has paid off in my arms.

Come over and hang with me!
