with floppy ears. I used brown and magenta wire on this one. I'll back him with clay one of these days.

A mineral is a naturally-occurring, solid, inorganic, crystalline substance having a fairly definite chemical composition and having fairly definite physical properties. At its simplest, a mineral is a naturally-occurring solid chemical. Currently, there are over 6000 named and described minerals - about 200 of them are common and about 20 of them are very common. Mineral classification is based on anion chemistry. Major categories of minerals are: elements, sulfides, oxides, halides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, and silicates.
Elements are fundamental substances of matter - matter that is composed of the same types of atoms. At present, 118 elements are known (four of them are still unnamed). Of these, 98 occur naturally on Earth (hydrogen to californium). Most of these occur in rocks & minerals, although some occur in very small, trace amounts. Only some elements occur in their native elemental state as minerals.
To find a native element in nature, it must be relatively non-reactive and there must be some concentration process. Metallic, semimetallic (metalloid), and nonmetallic elements are known in their native state as minerals.
Silver is part of the gold-group of metallic elements. Silver is a precious metal, but is far less valuable than gold or platinum. Silver usually occurs as a silver sulfide mineral, but it also occurs in nature in its native state, often in the form of twisted wires. Silver is moderately soft and has a silvery-white color on fresh surfaces that tarnishes to darker colors. Elemental silver in nature is often found alloyed with other metals. Naturally alloyed gold-silver is called electrum.

a mini take on the normally larger cupcakes, this tiny cupcake was bite-sized! a little bit of chocolate, chocolate chips and cream cheese. it was a small treat and the size (or the lack of a wrapper made it a little bit oily to the taste.
My double wire whisk - it will whip a small amount of double cream to a thick consistency in just a few seconds.

From an article in April's edition of Wired magazine discussing how people react to rewards and feelings of injustice.
After completing my first wire tree I couldn't wait to try it again. I looked to see when the next workshop would take place and it was a month away. So I signed up for it and waited patiently, counting the days. But when it came time for the workshop, the tragedy in Ulverde had just happened and my heart was so saddened by it all that I didn't feel right about going to do something fun.
But the more I thought about it, I thought that I could create a weeping willow tree, which would be a good way to express my sadness. So I went to the workshop and sat with the other attendees (only six other people) who all felt the same way I did. So, it was also helpful to be with others to talk about it, too. Artwork is the best therapy.
