I wish I had tons of interesting stuff to tell you but, alas, my life has been quite boring as of late. The good news is that I wound up doing quite well on that last test that I was stressing about. Now...the question will be whether I can repeat that on the next one. The next one promises to be a ball-buster and I'm being realistic about what the possible outcome might be.
In the meantime I've been preparing for an upcoming certification exam. Seems like all I ever do these days is take tests :( I can't wait for this part of the year to be over with.
Today I took a break from the books and decided to break into the stash of PMC3 that I had lurking around. I finally got all the knick-knacks "needed" to work with the stuff and I decided that there's no time like the present. So...in the end I churned out a ton of bead caps that I hope to use for my beads. I also made about a dozen large hole spacer beads that look quite neat on my Pandora bracelet. I'll try to post a pic as soon as I get one taken. I have to say that I'm quite addicted and am already searching for affordable sources for more PMC3.
Other than that I haven't lit up the torch for a while. I got a bunch of stuff done earlier that I listed on Etsy. A couple of the bigger beads I finished I was hoping to core with silver - hence the decision to play with silver clay. I'm also waiting on some additional supplies to come in so that I have the right size of tubing for the coring.
I'm really looking forward to tomorrow because I'm treating myself to a 2-hour massage!!! It's going to be the best day :) I hope you had a good one and I'll catch up with you again soon.

What's PMC3?
PMC - Precious Metal Clay. The 3 just refers to a type of PMC. There are a whole bunch of different types - end result is the same but working with them is slightly different - different degrees of shrinkage, different length of firing time, etc.
