Ideas comming to fruition

Well this seems to be a time of ideas coming to fruition for me. I have decided to start doing my tutorials this week, something I have been talking and thinking about for a while now. I started my first beach stone line piece last night (an idea I have had for a while and yeah once I finish it, it's gonna be gorgeous!). I purchased a PMC starter kit (waiting for that to get to me in the mail) another thing I have been talking about doing to take my jewelry to the next level again. So I see lots of new ideas coming to fruition now. Not sure if it has to do with the retrograde, I am not even sure I remember which planet is in retrograde right now, but I am feeling good about doing all these things now, and it seems I have a renewed energy for them as well.

Now I have to learn now to get a mirror finish on silver, for the piece I just started... ;) yeah I learn as I go... now you know how I have learned all I know... I start a piece and realize I gotta learn a new skill to finish it, so I figure out how to do it, and then do it... with whatever works for me. Sometimes I read about it online, or try and find videos, or sometimes, just with my own reasoning of how it seems it should be done (I do a LOT of that). I feel very familiar with metal, as if I have done this before and I am remembering more than learning. I esp seem to feel like I remember hammering and annealing... those came to me a if I had been doing them a lifetime already. You know I have remembered some funny things about the actual date I got my torch and supplies, and how I felt this overwhelming need to get these things, that day. It was on Yule... I just thought that my natural rhythm being so in tune is not totally a coincidence.

Next thing to tackle... how to use my new saw, I am scared to get out... ha ha ha! So far other measures have done the job, but I am getting to where I need to learn to use it to make some of the things I want to make. So brass and copper sheet and saw here I come... soon. (not gonna try and learn on silver, it cost too much for practice and learning!

Till next time!
