Summer. Blah blah things

Keeping up with the blog has been a chore lately.  Life has been so busy.

So just a few things here. First, the badges came back from the caster. They are good but I think the stamp will be better. I cleaned them up a bit just to see what they will look like if and when I solder them on to the back of a brooch or the bottom of a ring. 

Liz and I have been trying to find the time to go to the beach here in Rhode Island but with her big show looming we have only been once. I had to make a quick trip home on the train to help out my Mom and to get some much needed Zbrush tutorials from my brother. Thanks bro.

While I was there I made pastrami and pickled mustard seeds. Sorry no photos of the sandwiches. They went fast. I also had a chance to fire up the family pizza oven. It was kind of awesome! It took about three hours to get it hot enough to cook anything.  Then it took all night to cool off. I could have made breakfast in the morning if I wanted to. 

Liz and I have been working on our pieces for the Imagine Peace Now show sponsored by Boris Bally.  

I ordered a flower cutter off of Etsy for Liz. She refuses to use it but I think it works well. 

We are off to Rehoboth beach Delaware for Liz's show soon.  http://heidilowejewelry.com/ 

There is a lot to do back at work.  I am trying to force myself to take a break hence the infrequent blogging.  So many exciting things I would like to do.  We have new 3D printers, a new surgical grade TIG welder, new computers.  So many things, so little time. 

Also we need to find a new studio this summer.  Liz is growing out of our attic studio space.
