I have one more batch of some yellow hay tines to finish and then it's time to visit the scrap yard and see what they have to offer to make more. I made some napkin ring holders from my 'Aspen' pipe that a few of you have purchased, I'm happy to say those sold already.
The red napkin holders really intrigue me as I've always been attracted to 'springs' (coils, I usually call them) for a long time and have used them in some of my mixed media art in the past. I guess making something truly functional out of them gives me the most pleasure. They were kind of a bitch to cut up, believe me I went thru plenty of my dremel cut off wheels just to make them. I still can't believe how contented I am sitting there for hours doing the most mundane repetitious work all to make a simple functional object from a piece of junk.
Other news...none. Not really. Most of you know my studio space is very crammed with stuff and I tend to work on one thing at a time due to available table/work space. My jewelry keeps getting set aside but I am collecting more objects for pendants and feel confident the day will come for their debut. Flower sales petered out now that colder weather has hit most places, I'm still amazed most of my buyers use them for outdoor decor and not indoor vase decor. What do I know?????
