Last weekend I was at a dog agility trial and there is always a lot of down time. So I packed up a bunch of pretty stones and made bezels for them. Now they are ready to go when inspiration hits! I seem to have a pink theme going on.

Here is my new fancy torch.  I'm in a sharp learning curve.  The flame is tiny and MUCH hotter than my previous torch.  Needless to say, a a few things have been melted!  But this has enabled me to get at the hinged earrings I've been dying to make for quite awhile.

This was a bit of a surprise visit of about 12 high school kids and their leaders. They were camping on the island. I had to take them into my studio in groups of 3. It was really fun and they asked great questions. It took me a bit to get my "mojo" working, but the whole experience was a delight.
