Class at the Gathering

Today is my last day of Robert Dancik's class here at the Gathering.  I'm sad it's almost over.  We're doing a variety of things in a "cold connections" concept.  From riveting, to using Robert's "Faux Bone" material, as pictured above in one of the cuffs he uses as an example.  (Mine is nowhere as cool, but I did understand the technique and really enjoyed it.

So today we'll be looking at paper mache and concrete for holding or connecting other materials.  I'm looking forward to that too.  

I highly recommend class with Robert.  He's a delightful teacher who really works hard to give you everything he can.  And oh so patient...I know that from experience as I put my saw blade in backwards first time....it's all new to me, and what a great place to learn so many new techniques and skills.

See you tomorrow!

I Used To Be Cool

I was researching Louisville, KY, because I might be visiting there next week and found this T-Shirt business, www.iusedtobecool.com on one of the city-centric websites, Keep Louisville Weird.

Well, you know any name that has weird in it, will attract me like a moth to flame, so I checked it out....and of course, after chuckling through all the different products from this company, I ordered one.

I know, it will embarrass my kids even more, but what the heck. I already do. And I think it's funny and it makes me laugh.

If you plan to be in the Louisville area Thursday, Oct. 9th and possibly Friday the 10th, drop me an email at studiomarcy@gmail.com to let me know. We can see if our schedules might mesh. I'll be there with my family and hoping to tour some of the local glass facilities during my free time.

See you tomorrow, http://www.StudioMarcy.blogspot.com, with some more morning madness and a little fun tossed in too.
