Quick Update

I'm really bad at remembering to update this.

I'm thinking about changing my project. Well, maybe not changing, just readjusting. I think I want to focus on material usage and to use silver (as a precious metal) to display natural, common supplies like wood, natural raw stones, geodes, etc. I am starting with wood and spent 5 hours sanding yesterday to make the pieces smooth and even. I plan on cutting some forms out to lay in silver and see how they work as samples. I also ordered and drove out to GS Metals to purchase some a ton of sheet silver to use for these. Here is where I am so far -

I also researched last night to find necklace chains, break your own geodes, and different/new styles of bails that might work for me.
