ON|PAPER opened. I calculatedly made and wore an elaborate necklace as I figure it's always good to stand out at a reception and give people a reason to talk to you. It's sort of a financially motivated form of "peacocking."

David taught me how to spot weld with a MIG set up, and while I am not very good at it yet I'm good enough for my purely structural purposes.

I have new pieces up at Twentieth Gallery, in the front window, in one of the back rooms, and a little doll brooch that's probably at the sales people's desk.

Righteous. The poppets makes me think of Neil Gaiman for some reason as though the cat things from Mirrormask mated with a pillow and laid eggs in my eyes. I love that feeling.
The necklace is so lovely I'd like to put it in my mouth.
Congratulations.

Impressive necklace!

What are the individual disks? They are about the same size and color as licorice Necco wafers so Effie Clair might be on the right track - edible jewelry?

The necklace is more effective peacocking than your photo companion's hair.

The welding is cool, isn't it?

We very seriously want too. We are leaving in a few min to go camping, but we are usually back by around 3 or 4 pm on sunday, so we should be able to make it.
