afmetalsmithYou know, if I wanted to be a Web guru, I'd be a Web guru and not a metalsmith. Sigh.
This means that I've been spending at least as much time and effort lately on updating my website as I have in the studio doing metal things. And it's not as much fun. Nor is it even visible now; since I'm doing a pretty comprehensive re-working, I need to finish that before I can post the results of my labors in the CSS salt-mines.
But I did spend a few hours in the studio today, and am making progress on several things; the Crow Moon scent lockets, my most-immediate commission, and some plique earrings (along with various bits of other things). This is some consolation for having to spend a lot of time on website stuff.
Speaking of the Crow Moon scent lockets: I decided, after the disaster that was #1 and the lack of success in #2, that doing it all with fusing was unrealistic for this project. So I'm using a hard argentium solder that I hope will not be obnoxious, color-wise.
I am, though, still intrigued by argentium. Especially after spending more time than I would have preferred removing firescale from part of the commission piece...
