Halfway through the day we were talking about metal and she started me stamping on copper and hammering copper. YES! Something to get my aggression out! I happily hammered all the rest of the day, flattening out copper washers and putting my kid's names on them! HA! You probably didn't know I was aggressive! Or had anger issues! Just ask Gary! Mean, too, sometimes! So here is a skill I can use to get all that stuff out! We made a list of tools I would need to do this at home and I'm giving it to my Santa.
Mary, what can I say? It was a wonderful day! Oh, did I mention that she fed us egg rolls? Yummmm....

The view outside her studio barn
The purple stuff is the plastic mold
The clay buttons when they were drying
My favorite button!
The detail was really amazing!
And finally the copper! I can't wait to get tools!!!!!
Have a wonderful weekend!

What a fun day, pretty landscape and I LOVE that handstamped copper!
ReplyDeleteOMG Cait. Love your post. You are so on top of our day together. I loved having you and I am already firing my little bezels that I made by mistake. I have big plans for them. Your pics of what you made and what we did are great. I will be posting in a few days so keep watching.

ReplyDeleteThanks Karen!! Copper was too much fun! And I can't wait to do it on my own...I see bracelets and earrings in my future!! Maybe brass, too and dreaming of silver!!
