I've been busy in my studio this past week creating soldered pendants. Check this one out:

Soldered Cat and Dog Pendants, Part 2

In my previous post, there was a picture of foiled pieces of cat and dog designs ready for soldering. I completed the soldering and below are some the finished pendants:

These soldered pendants are now up for "adoption" along with others.  They would make a purrfect gift for the pet lover.  (Oh and Mom's Day is coming up soon too!)

Soldered Cat and Dog Pendants, Part 1

I spent yesterday nipping and foiling china for my next set of soldered jewelry pendants.  I'm creating cat and dog designs for pet lovers out there, like myself.  Woo-hoo!

Nipped and Foiled China

Today, I cleaned my studio  from the excess porcelain china shards and slivers. Ugh!  What artist likes to clean?

Now that I've completed my necessary evil, I will move ahead with the good part--soldering.  Stay tuned to see the finished pendants...

Happy Anniversary, Lucy!

Exactly one year ago today, our Lucy had surgery to remove a hemangiopericytoma cancer.  I'm delighted to report, she is still with us and doing well.  Yippee!

We go for walks and play ball every day.  She never misses a food opportunity either.  We're hoping for 10 more years together.  Go big or go home!

Happiness is...

Lucy:  Happiness is my toy bunny next to me and a ball in my mouth with a tummy rub on the way.
Susan:  Happiness is a really warm puppy.  (Oh Lucy, your tummy is so warm and soft on this chilly day--tickle, tickle.)
