What an amazing week it was! Non-stop talking, learning, creating and eating - lots of eating!!! I learned fold-forming and anti-clastic raising, and am busy buying hammers and figuring out how to get a wooden stake made so I can get busy making more pieces. My Etsy shop hummed along all week, too, so I am busy today getting my bench back together and getting orders out. Here is a quick peek at my fold-formed leaf piece from the retreat. Copper leaf, with a brass dragonfly, and tiny little bezel set peridot. Already sold!! I'll be back soon with more pictures and details about the retreat.
Love it! I'm rather jealous of the lot of you.

Absolutely drop dead gorgeous piece!! WOW!!!! Sounds like the retreat was a blast, sorry I missed it! :(
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful comments you guys! I'm so excited to be able to do leaves now! Lisa Weber (Silvervine at Etsy) taught us how to do fold-formed leaves, and anticlastic raising. I'm sooo excited about these techniques, I've been wanting to do them forever. Lisa's work is just amazing, I'm so happy to have met her - what an inspiration!! I sure hope you guys can come to a retreat - I'd love to meet you too!
