Not me best timelapse videos but they represent an important moment for me. I was taking some time just for myself and doing something I love for the first time in weeks. I always seem to drop jewellery first and pick it up again last in the face of difficulties. I've not figured out why yet.

Some process pictures from my casting experiments. I forgot to get a photo of the first one with the spru attached but you can see what it was like from the second one. I used the saw and drill to make the bail.

Shopping this I realised how much I love play as part of a making process; I didn't want to just reproduce a shape entirely and I wondered if the copper would fuse. After the first go it didn't so I used a smaller one in the second just to make the indent and it fused this time 🤣. Now I'm playing at putting different dishes in the first one seeing how they look.

Time at the bench today. I'm still enjoying casting trying things out, pouring went wrong this time but I lucked out with the spru and was able to have a second go. I've got lots of bits at the 90% stage I really need to find the enthusiasm to finish, hallmark and photograph for the website but with low energy and no one specific I'm finishing them for it's nicer to play more with the few hours I get.

I am not a terribly serious person, this may well be coming across by now, I like to have a bit of fun while working.

I started this a long time ago playing with a design theme I do a lot of (copper wires soldered into holes drilled through silver)
