\nGreetings! This is me in my little studio. I have a guest bedroom in my house that’s been converted, much to the chagrin of the visiting members of family. Here is one side of it…<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a> <\/span><\/div>\n
\n                                                          I love that room. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nLast post I tacked up a drawing of this pendant….here it is with the unpainted face, unsecured cab and unfinished and unpolished setting. It’s just “un” as this point.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

<\/a>But….things are looking up! More work was accomplished on the setting, and I began the polish and the back work. Yes, I have another job that has been kicking me around lately…so despite things looking up, they are looking up slowly. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

I added more wire to surround the bezel, in addition to a wire bail.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n The back looks a little too “cookie cutter” for me, so more exploration is due here. I have not worked with mica previously, the source of that shine. I will accomplish that today.<\/span><\/div>\n

                                                  <\/span>
\nLast, I added some paint to the polymer face, but just base layers. I will put up a photo later today when it is finished. That’s all for now from the bench, from my NEW bench, that is, thanks to my little sister, Lisa! I will put up a photo of that later, also…<\/span><\/p>\n
