Slowly getting some things done

Here and there playing and getting  back into things
Last week set up my torch and got a couple of beads made

then I played off mandrel with some copper wire

thinking of making some corsages or necklaces something 

I got detoured thinking of ways to strengthen my wrist and arm and pulled out my archery equipment that has been sitting since I came back to Canada - I used to go every weekend when I lived in the U.S.

I shot all of 6 arrows and was in pain - but if I do it each week maybe I'll have strength sooner 

I even got my granddaughter hooked and she loves it and got her a bow  - something we can do together - this year its lampworking too for her

Copper Wire Weaving -

Since I got the Art Jewelry March 2012 Magazine I have so wanted to do this

Wire weaving  - it is so cool
I had seen other weaving and was intrigued but when I saw this by Kaska Firor in the magazine it blew my mind on how beautiful the weaving was that made these bracelets.

You can get a back issue from Art Jewelry http://art.jewelrymakingmagazines.com/en/sitecore/content/Magazine%20Issues/2012/March%202012.aspx

So I ordered and got my wire in 1000ft 26g, 1000ft, 1000ft 24g, 22g, 1000ft 18g plus I have my reel of 16g that I used for my other projects - so I am ready - I've read the article over and over, watched some you tube on similar weaving.  So I will give this a try this weekend
