This last couple of days I’ve been buying a lot of new supplies for my workshop.. if any jewelers read this post you can see how I move in baby steps..

I live in a country where is almost impossible to find this stuff.. so It’s VERY complicated..

I needed a metal ring sizer really badly..

 A dapping cube and the punch set.. for my fountains!!! and cups of teas and all pretty round stufff… (hot air baloons coming soon)

This half round file is impossible to find in the country and was the only file i was missing!

I feel so good little by little i can manage to make things at home and well now i can focus just in this.. working your butt of pays you can get pretty new things…

The other batch of things I’ll show in another post now I’m off to class

 So I was having coffee in the teather cafe.. and as a result of a lot of caffeine.. decided to break into the teather to go play piano..(as if i play piano)

So I was running like a mad woman (please don’t mention that I run like a little girl..)

 And when I got there there was in the last step .. a block in the stairs  stopped me.. couldnt go in because of my heels…Then a guard came over…

 And I ran once again..

The lesson:

… don’t ever drink expresos and break into a teather…

I’m writing from my bed..Something is on the TV, I have music on, and it’s 9:00pm and what can I say…sometimes with all the daily mess, with being tired many many times, with some days that I wake up really wanting to stay in bed all day..I get really fed up.

I hate routine I really do in general in life, in relationships, in friendships… I guess I’m a bit unstable…but as of late and fully out of the blue, I started thinking that rutine might not be as bad as it seems, depends on the place you are and the people around you…and what you are doing…

Who knows, I have a lot of questions these days, and not one answer…and as I said some days I get so frustrated and days like today I just focus on cleaning up my working space, doing some drawing, laundry, is some sort of counciousness that one way or another, after you work more than 8 hours a day the silly, simple things give so much satisfaction.

I don’t know if I’m making any sense but I was asked about what I do during the weekends, and well I put my hair in a bun, get some flip-flops and clean this whole house, do some cooking, drink tea, watch movies, do laundry, and how can I explain at 9:00pm after a day of just doing the most common tasks.. I feel so good.

Good Morning,

6:17am here and having a big cup of coffee to avoid passing out and to be found sleeping under my desk… and I wanted to show my latest piece.

I  was asked for a drop, or my idea of a drop and this is the result…

 I Love packing so much it gives such a difference, the pretty thing about this one is that as soon as you open it , a light smell comes to you and well it was a present for someone’s best friend had to be special.

This is the close up of the butterfly I made:

 The back of it has a bit of  a texture, I honetsly like matte textures and oxidized pieces more than super shiny ones..

There’s a small plaque with her initials that hangs on the side of the neck …

 And this is for me! … because I love thumb rings and well I didnt have any and people I hardly ever make things for myself but this is beginning to change.

 3 stackable rings.. the idea is that with every piece of wire i got left I will make me a ring to keep stacking it sort of like a memory of the materials used..  i hammered a bit and was more open to do things with them since i wasnt hoping they’d be perfect and did them so quick but I do like them a lot..

And yes well this is what I’ve done this past weekend.. have some halfmade pieces which hopefully will be finished soon.. I get so happy by people liking things…

Actually I received this email from a person that bought this piece  online., here’s an extract of the mail…

“Thank you so much.  The necklace arrived today.  It’s beautiful!  I love it!  It’s the perfect gift for my sister, who is graduating from university.  She will graduate about a week before her 43rd birthday.  She is married, a mother of 3, works full time, and still managed to complete her degree!  I am very proud of her and the necklace you made embodies the sentiment I’d like to express to her on this occasion.  “How high could birds fly….  I’m sure they can’t fly up to the moon, but what if one tried”

Am a happy Nat.

Dry Flowers:

Quotes read outloud by good friends:

The reason that death sticks so closely to life isn’t biological necessity - it’s envy. Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can. But life leaps over oblivion lightly, losing only a thing or two of no importance, and gloom is but the passing shadow of a cloud.

-Yann Martel

Songs..

Days get better and better when actually paying attention at those images,sounds and words that surround us..

“There are things we need to forget and forgive
Sometimes we have to try and shed the damage we don’t need
Oh justice shake your head
I’m on my way home”

Yeeee I’m currently learning to set stones and it’s hard, I guess it takes a bit to get the hold of it but uff.. and well here are my first 2 attempts:

I might be crossed eyed pretty soon , but happy, and well eventually in some time I’ll have to learn this..
