I really love the band.. was round wire that I forged square and then twisted. Worked out well and was easy peasy!
Liz and I ventured to Kennedy Space Center for our nerdy Valentine's day date. Cool, huh? We wanted to be different.
This is a Saturn V rocket. Or as some call it a 'moon rocket.' I wish I'd had the foresight to bring a wide angle lens. Next time. Until then these are pieces of a Saturn V rocket.

I got home tonight
after a long afternoon at work
and I went to the sink;
splashed the cool water upon my face
and rubbed my skin raw
with the harsh soap,
scrubbing away the facade of the day
to reveal the truest me.
After drying my face
I looked into the mirror
and my cheeks were burning
rosy pink and tender,
and so I got my camera
thinking that maybe
the Jesse without the makeup
might be the prettiest picture of them all.
I was very temped to do an SOOC for this shot, but I just liked all of the edits so much more. Perhaps one day I'll be brave enough to really show you an SOOC shot. But not tonight.
Unintended humor?
Arlington (Ballston), Virginia.

Con la scusa che è già
tutto scritto da tempo
che stiamo vivendo
un copione perfetto
che nulla ormai si può fare
se tu vuoi cambiare la realtà
Possiamo coprire gli errori più gravi
e giustificare condotte immorali
sicuri del fatto stiamo solo
recitando per un po'
Dai la colpa al destino se tutto non va
dai la colpa al destino se non eri là
dai la colpa al destino
e tutto finisce qua
Con la scusa che è già
tutto scritto da tempo
che stiamo vivendo un copione perfetto
che nulla oramai si può fare
se tu vuoi cambiare la realtà
Devi spezzare il dente all'ingranaggio
che tiene prigioniero il tuo personaggio
ed il regista del tuo domani
sarai solamente tu
Non c'è garanzia sul successo finale
ma è obbligatorio almeno provare
il tuo futuro non è scritto
ma se vuoi potrai farlo tu
(Derozer - Destino)
Sterling silver, fine silver, copper, garnet, white cubic zirconia, leather. Fabricated, soldered. Surprisingly, not patinated.
There's a little piece of gilded green leather from my Mother's jewelry box under the CZ. You can't see it in the picture, and you can't see it in person.
Lessons Learned:
• Jump rings make great risers for low stones/high bezel walls.
• Fabrication is fussy. But so is metal clay.
• Waiting until I have time to fulfill my original intention (of practicing my soldering skills) is much more satisfying than just throwing together something so I can post on time.
• Taking a photo with no reflection of the photographer is a bitch.
• Someone I know is in desperate need of a manicure.
Can you spot which one is different? LOL
As you can see, we're enjoying another round of snow and ice on our mountain. I am warm and happy hanging out in my workshop. Don't have any sand, so I am burying my head in sawdust. I hope all is well y'all.
The Tapati Festival on Rapa Nui is one of the largest cultural festivals in all of Polynesia. Part of the festival involves selecting a Queen Rapa Nui, and the parade is part of the voting process. On the afternoon of the parade, people head to one of the two camps for the family and Queen you want to vote for, you strip naked and dip yourself in colored mud. Once dry, they will paint symbols on your body and then you march in the parade behind the float with your Queen. If you are fully decorated, then the judges give you a 10. If you aren't completely covered in mud and decorated, you might earn a 5, a 2, or a 0, and your vote is weighted accordingly.
Most everyone participates, and it is one of the highlights of the two-week long festival.
Wonderful raw lasagne from therawchefblog.com - taste truly rivaled "cooked" lasagne and I enjoyed every bite
The cat from the neighbours killed a beautiful bird with black/blue feathers. Never in my life I found this type of (exotic?) feathers (living in mid- Europe). Who knows what bird this is (longest feathers is +/-60 mm)? Made some macro shots from these bi-colour beautiful feathers.
Instead of buying mayonnaise with E this and E that, why not serve raw mayonnaise made of 3 avocados + 2 cups packed basil + 2 cloves garlic + lemon juice + salt + pepper mixed until smooth in a blender? You can call this guacamole if you wish. In any case, it bursts with flavor, much better than store-bought mayo made of egg and preservatives. Besides, you get green booster from the basil in it. Daily our body needs at least 3 cups packed fresh greens if blended or 6 cups when eaten as salad.

SS, formed, textured - experimentation
shape was orginally to be a rectangle - but fiddled it into a freeform that has an obnoxious 'not-quite-close-enough-but-there' resemblance to the USA. Debating going back and modifying the bottom and any other edges...am undecided.
