the thought

Since I'm jobless at this point, I'm using as much time to make jewelry to stock my etsy shop and trying to come up with new ideas. I found a ton of those laminate samples that you get from home improvement places in the back room of the metals lab and they've been sitting in my room ever since. So today I tried to sketch up some ideas of what to do with them since there was no way I was going to be able to work out in the garage.
I'm going to experiment this week. End result to come!

A space to work

So, I graduated. It's strange and exciting and depressing all at once. Definitely the worst part of leaving school was having to say goodbye to my own bench in the metals lab.

I've been working at this bad boy for the past two years and it was absolutely perfect. It was big, plenty of drawers and right next to the microwave! The back room was tiny but the walls were lined with everyone's different inspiration and pictures. I just loved that room.

This is my new work bench. Yes, it is an old set of kitchen cabinets with a bench pin screwed onto it and it's in the garage so I always have a fear of bees attacking me (have I mentioned my intense fear of bees??) and I can't really work on ungodly hot summer days. But hey, it works and it's a free space. Luckily it's comfortable out this week so I'm putting of the dread of finding a job to make new jewelry.
Happy graduation!
