Welcome to my Musings

Sorry, no pics this time.  I spent the weekend in San Diego in Connie Fox's Earring class.  What a great class! This is the 5th or 6th, maybe more, class I have taken from Connie.  I am so lucky to have her just 2 hours drive away. The class, as usual, is about so much more than earrings.  We were introduced to several new techniques and given helpful advice and suggestion on our projects.  I came away with my head swirling with new designs and new ways to do techniques I thought I knew as well as brand new techniques.  Example; we soldered with a plumbers torch and small MAPP gas canisters.  I normally use a Little torch hooked to oxygen and propane tanks.  I now have a new tool in my kit because I can use the MAPP gas torch for annealing and save my expensive oxygen for the precision soldering tasks.  I also came away with a new pair of sterling and onyx earrings. The next class I am taking with her is in May....cuff bracelets.  I can't wait.  Maybe I will take pictures at that class.
