Done.

All I gotta do is buy the leather necklace for the piece and tie it round someone's neck.  'Bout fucking time, Man..that was a lot of silver.

I already started carving the wax for my next piece which is actually going to be another amulet.  Can't get enough of those things.  I finally played around with a bunch of my ideas and spent two hungry, over-caffeinated hours grinding my teeth and a ball point pen on printer paper waiting for something to click.  It did:

Silver band, bronze sculpture. 1.5" diameter.

Essentially the band will be a nice and flat silver ring with a cylinder layed across on top to fit a thin chain through.  I will then sculpt the small man on the chair out of a soft wax and have both pieces put into a cast. Pretty simple, but somehow its simplicity gives it elegance.  I think this one might be a piece I could possibly wear around as well as it's not too overstated.

I've also found where the caster is located, and I plan on going there a few times in the next weeks so that I can make some jewellery for class as well as myself.  I am going to make an anchor to put on a chain and either wear it as a necklace or bracelet, not sure yet. I'll keep you guys updated.

Alas, it's the weekend already and I'm staying around Florence, I might take the bus up to Fiesole, or, if I am feeling chipper, hoof it all the way up.  I'll also check out the Uffizi gallery as well for some inspiration and or just some good old intellectual eye candy.  I ran into this pretty funny/entertaining blog completely through serendipity (I was looking for pictures of turn of the century diving helmets and stumbled upon it) two days ago, and amongst this guys good stories and cool posts was some of his music.  It isn't by far anything fantastic, and I noticed that two songs that are back to back start of with the same chord progression, but I thought that it fit the Autumn mood and struck me at the right time for it to be sentimental, so here is one of his sawngs.  If you like what you here you can download the rest of the album via this website.


Well, that is it for now, it's the weekend, I just got done with a run, got my midterms back, all of them aced, as well as many other successes, and so now I must present the new drink of the season.  So long gin and tonics; It's official tonight and now on it shall be:

White Russians.

"Well that's like... your opinion, man."

 1 part vodka 1.5 parts Kahlua 1 part cream.

Pour Vodka into cup of ice, stir vodka, pour in Kahlua, stir, pour in cream and put in a straw, allow the drinker to stir the cream them self,  Dude.
