HELLO and HAPPY DECEMBER!

Hey there, after being MIA on my BLOGGER for way too long, I'm gearing up to make a comeback in 2024. Keep your fingers crossed for me! I'm itching to dive back into my studio and shift my focus to enameling and silversmithing next year. Got tons of ideas I've been dying to try out, and my enamel stash is practically begging to be used.

The more you have, the more you crave. So, in the spirit of decluttering and making room for new adventures, I'm planning to sell off stuff I know I won't get around to using. Thank goodness for the Facebook Marketplace – it's about to become my creative yard sale! Here's to hoping 2024 brings a whole lot of creative vibes and a tad more organization to my creative chaos!

Makes sense, right - LOL I retreated to my bench to do the deed.  Once I  heated the crucible, I added a little borax (flux) to coat it. My first casting was using brass (copper for my second).   It took forever to melt, even with the addition of an additional torch. There was more success with the brass casting vs. the copper (exact opposite  of what I expected).   Not sure if the type of fuel is important, but I used mapp gas which could have been part of the problem, along with a slight breeze. I ma...
