I wake up in the middle of the night thinking about how I want to make a jewelry piece. Later, when I'm working I tell Susan not to come in the room, which is hard for her because that's where all her stuff is and where Pandora is playing. So I remind her that Calder made jewelry for his wife, Louisa, and to stay out.
When I'm finished with the piece I have a One-Man Show and she gets to see it. All the pieces I've made are tacked up on a bulletin board for her to admire because she doesn't actually wear jewelry except for her watch, wedding ring, and sometimes earrings.
The watch gear spins and is in a tiny little hole I drilled after learning the technique from Keith LoBue. The face is a resin-filled bezel that I learned how to do in a class with Susan Lenart Kazmer. The base of the piece is etched nickle/silver that I learned how to do in a class with Stephanie Lee. Notice this: Women tell me what to do and I do it. Sometimes.

Women tell you what to do and you do it? .....and look at the materpiece you've created! I'd suggest you keep on doing whatever they tell you to do but I must give credit where credit is due....this is really a beautiful piece of jewellery Don. I'm expecting Susan Lenart Kazmer's book from Kalahari.net this week.
I love it and if Susan doesn't want it, I'll take it!
I say if Susan doesn't want the jewelry pieces you are making, SELL THEM! They are wonderful Don.
Susan is going to love it!
