• Still doing red, black, white

  So I’m still trying to use up all the black, red and white ‘cane’ I produced while trying to fill an order for a double switch plate in those colors.  Here are some more:

                                                                                                                                                           

  As well as the box you saw last time and a bracelet I made last year after the previous Cabin Fever Clay Festival.  The bracelet combines the work of 2 instructors – one who taught how to make these bangles and another who taught an optical illusion cane.  I took these photos for a friend who sells Corvette jewelry – I was bemoaning the number of black, red, white and sometimes silver items I’d produced and she said that those are Corvette colors.  She’s going to see if her partner wants to expand beyond jewelry.  (Or produce bracelet fasteners and/or smaller bangles in black, red, white for kids.)  Who knows, I may have a new market.  But I am getting awfully tired of these colors.  And I think I like the ones with silver better than just the black, red and white.

  Today is a FeederWatch bird count day for me – wish this computer was near where the feeders are.  But I’ve got bills to pay, records to keep, and email to read.  Maybe later for the birds.  (I started this morning, but there were mostly squirrels – they tend to discourage the birds – only got a couple of cardinals and some house sparrows.)

  Still babying my foot – ice, elevation, Ace bandage wrap.  If I wrap it too tight I get in trouble, so yesterday I had my physical therapist show me how it’s supposed to be done.  Somehow, my wrapping doesn’t look pretty like his did.  But I do have a better idea of how it should be done.  We’ll see what today brings.
