i love to make a tool

which is basically what i spend much of my precious studio time doing today. it's just a series of soldered circles in various sizes with tags stating the size. it's a design tool, so i can grab it and determine what size of circle i need for something. it's in 1 inch increments, from 2 to 9, with little brass tags and chased numbers. it was a lot of fun to do, actually. i risked waking up the baby to do the chasing, and i'm glad i did because now i know that the sound of me chasing at night isn't going to bother her.

i have been very inhibited when it comes to using my anvil. it rings beautifully, but the sound really carries. since i'm usually getting my studio time in while the baby is asleep, well you see my dilemma.

the bracelets from yesterday are ready for tumbling, i came up with an idea for another pair of earrings and started work on a bracelet. a lot of stuff is still waiting on gems. i am getting eager to get going on that, so i am really counting the days.
