Copper and Brass... i decided to try weaving the flower chain...to see if it was easy enough to teach at one of my workshops...really quite easy to do. It just requires patience as all chain making does.
This photo shows the tree rings on one end of my block. The ruler is in millimeters.
My bucket list is very short, and includes carving an endless chain out of a single block of wood. I bought a piece of Honduras mahogany in August of 2011, when I was 59 years old. I considered waiting, but was concerned that physical limitations might appear later, such as arthritis. This endless chain will have 8 links. The tree rings shown in the end grain may enable me to identify when and where this piece was grown. If I successfully carve this, my next chain will have an odd number of links, a project that may be no harder to carve, but will be much harder to design & transfer to the wood block. If I screw up my current chain, I figure to at least end up with some nice toothpicks. So far, I have removed about 56% of the starting weight, going from about 30 ounces to about 13.
Too many hot days so far, went shopping for a vest and found an awesome bmx chain style bracelet.. had to get a nice cold monster energy while i was in town to! 5/365

Caroline Manzo, Dina Manzo and Kim Granatell among stars at first New Jersey Fashion Week
New Jersey's first Fashion Week, although only two days long, with more days planned for next year, took place at the prestigious Pleasantdale Chateau in West Orange, N.J.
Founded by Donnella Tilery, a fashion entrepreneur, and Jack Panico, owner of a chain of hair salons, this event was designed to be hosted by New Jersey, and brought with it a lot of New Jersey flavor. Tickets cost $100 each, raising nearly $20,000 for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation.
Tom Murro, New Jersey's Celebrity Magnet, brought his wife Kelly and the always-interesting Kim Granatell along to the event (Kim G on "The Real Housewives of New Jersey").
Local photographer Manny Carabel was kind enough to take all of the pictures for this report. He even was able to get an extremely rare photo moment featuring Caroline Manzo and Kim Granatell in a photo together. Pulitzer Prize for celebrity news, anyone?
Murro was invited to the show by Mrs. New Jersey 2010 Claire Pavlinec. Her charity, Maternal Wings, is devoted to recycling slightly used baby furniture (cribs, bassinettes, etc) to families in need.
As he hoped, Murro met Dina Manzo, the last "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star on his interview wish list. Manzo was a bit taller than he expected, but as lovely and gracious as the rest of the remaining housewives, according to Murro. Standing next to Caroline Manzo for a photo, Murro was again insistent that we mention that Caroline is as petite and good looking as ever.
While the audience was relieved that none of the "Jersey Shore" members attended, the "Jerseylicious" crew supplied some styling and make up for several of the models. Murro mentioned that model Denisha Rountree truly worked the runway.
Some of the other stars who came included The Spin Crowd's Jonathan Cheban, who is originally from New Jersey, Linda Morand, founder of the Supermodel Hall of Fame, "Dancing With The Stars" Anna Demidova, Mrs. New Jersey 2009, Ceylone Boothe-Grooms and Murro's friend and sometimes on air co-disher Alicia Viterelli from News12 New Jersey.
All of the designers showed their best real clothes for real people. New Jersey Fashion Week Rising Star Designer winner, Kahri Anne Kerr, was heard saying, "It was awesome, dude! Now I can pay my rent."
The crowd loved the event as well. "New York should be jealous," Murro told us, "This was better and simply more fun than any show I've seen in New York."
As Murro told the viewers on News 12, "Great Food, Great Fashion, Great Times."
I flamework links of Pyrex glass by hand, one at a time, without molds. I developed and honed this time-consuming technique to build lengths of chains and piles of delicate-- but strong-- transparent necklaces. The clasps are also flameworked in glass.
These necklaces are available! Find my contact on my blog, linked below.

Rusted chains and a lock on a gate (leading up to my favourite red-roof barn)
I liked the combination of the steel lock with the partial rusted chain.

When she was 12 years old, Maria Goretti fended off a would-be rapist. He stabbed her 14 times since she wouldn't submit. Maria died of her injuries within 24 hours, but not before she said she forgave her attacker and wanted to see him in Heaven with her. She died in 1902.
Twenty-seven years later, the attacker was released from prison and immediately went to Maria's mother to beg her forgiveness (she accepted). They then went to Mass together, where they received Communion side by side.
This is closeup of Maria's attacker, Alessandro Serenelli, caught in the chains and darkness of sin in a painting in the new Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe just south of LaCrosse, WI.
