Boy... Thanks! Have you been having fun?
We just got back to FL to do some art shows.
We went to the Tucson Gem Show. Cut about 800 stones.
Hauled Laura's car from Tucson to Ohio then back to Florida.
4800 Miles in a month. Crazy Huh?

800 cut stones... yikes, did you have to ice your arms? 4800 milesIS a long way. When Stephen and I moved from VA to AZ in 2004, we towed our only vehicle (Tacoma) behind the U-Haul... No one ever warned us that you had to disconnect the drive shaft on a toyota, so we had to spend over 2k getting the truck fixed before we could really even look for jobs... Moves always freak me out. This one only has one more hurdle, getting our 4 adored cats over here. I dream about them almost every night.

I hope you get your kitties back soon!
I know how hard that can be.
I didn't have to ice my arms, but I ground down my finger nails to the quicks and my finger tips were bloody.

Me, I've been taking a life drawing class on Monday and Wednesdays. Trying to kick up my drawing skills while (re)learning to draw faster.

I'm just teaching metal to my students. It's kinda fun to show off in front of them. They are still cutting out their first piece, and during my two 40 minute preps I finished 3 pieces. (Sawing out) They were in awe... it is flattering
Great luck this weekend! I wish for you a buying crowd!!

Sounds like you have a wonderful job. They have a great teacher!
Thanks for the luck. I made 62 pieces this week but I'm not sure if I can get all of them polished. I'm half way! I need to set up at 5:00 today!

Cool! Would it be possible for me to order one? I live in the Netherlands, I hope shipping costs wouldn't be too expensive.

Very Cool! I'm very happy you like them! I never have sold anything overseas before. I can check to see how much it would cost to ship. Have you ever bought anything from the US?
