I've been working feverishly on my ideas. Well, honestly - considering the post on polychronic behavior I'd like to think feverishly but it's more like consistent linear progress...LOL. I have like five projects going at the same time - maybe more. I keep telling myself if this ever all comes together it will be like a volcano. I keeping worrying that it will be like one big eruption and then I'll go dormant for another 10 years. Scary - scary thought. Okay - let's perish that singular thought to the - been there - done that - pile and move forward.

Five of the new carved plaster casts for pewter |
I've been working on the pewter casting from B&B. I never did show you what I made in that class. As soon as I get home again I'll add a photo of the first castings we did while we were at class. I have three of them and Susan, my friend, gave me one of her hedge hogs. They are cute and remind me of me. Maybe it's one of my totem animals - The other and most prevalent one being the Raven.

There are three new plasters in this photo and two hunks of pewter to melt down. |
I bet you feel you just have to know why a hedge hog - right?. Got myself giggling here...not just because it's nice and round but more because it tucks and balls up as a self-defense against it's perception of a predator. My tendencies are to get quite hermit like at times. Anyway, I digress.
None of these casts in the photos have been poured yet. I have all the materials and am ready to go but maybe just true to my nature I can't just do one thing at a time so I've finished quite a few to pour at the same time. I'll let you know how it goes.
If you have any questions about how we did this plaster casting - please feel free to ask....
