Hmmm, I don't seem to be very consistent with this blogging activity do I? Update: my finger has healed except for residual numbness and pain. I'm back to sawing, hammering, playing with fire. Attended Folk School (John C. Campbell in Brasstown, NC) in September for a jewelry design class with Barbara Joyner and Mary McBride. In October, went for my twice yearly PMC class with Janet Harriman in Ocracoke, NC . For November? I'm furiously working on collaborative Christmas gifts with my artist friend, Martha. She is a painter, I work metal. We'll see how the gifts turn out! I'm loving the lower silver prices.
