Getting ready to go work. My thumbs hurt due to over working yesterday. I have been buffing to try and finish a couple of pieces and I think I wore skin thin because my right thumb cracked in a long line and then had many perpendicular cracks- it almost looks like stitches. On the left thumb the injury was more dramatic, but stupid-attack of the burnisher when over concentrating. I was making a ring for ds's birthday, which has a garnet cab on it to look like the ring that Howl wears in the graphic novel Howl's Moving Castle.
Ds's ring is a size 2.5 and fits dd perfect, so I hope ds can wear it, too. Now dd wants a ring with blue stone that looks like Sophie's- I have the perfect little topaz that I accidently cleaved a small chunk off of - can not put it into a piece for sale, but still looks good to the unaided eye. Perfect for a 5 year old. I also have a small lapis that would be blue, but she wants it to shine a light directing her to home (I explained that she was going to have to imagine that part because my skills witchcraft are nil).
I just had a yummy coffee, but it never seems to last long enough. We are out of cereal and I am not sure what to do for breakfast. Maybe oatmeal. I think maybe another coffee, too, yum.
My plan today: keep attempting to finish and buff near finished pieces (uggg!), make a little ring for dd with chipped topaz, do a little repair work, keep working on pieces started for up coming show season... should be a full day. Hope I can concentrate with out injuring myself. Maybe I should try to remember to take the camera with me and take some photos.
