What a wonderful day yesterday. Both the mailman and the UPS man were very kind to me. The mailman brought my copy of the "Atlas of Middle Earth". I had wanted a copy of this for quite a while and had resolved to save my next 15% off coupon from Barnes & Noble for the purchase. Unfortunately when I got the coupon, they were sold out of the book. So I searched their on-line system when I got home and ended up ordering a used copy. Even with the shipping, it was less than I would have spent. I had to wait a week to have it in my hands, but the money saved made it well worth-while. 
And on the enameling front, the UPS driver delivered a shipment of enamels and equipment from Thompson Enamel. I am working with some shaped copper components to make some enamel pieces that will be incorporated into my Beading For A Cure piece this year. I'm starting work on the beading this week, and I hope to cut out the copper and shape it today. The colors that I received in my packet yesterday should be complimentary for the kit, so I am looking forward to adding some of my metalwork to my beadwork. It won't be a project that will be finished quickly, but it is starting to come together in my mind. Now to see if the physical reality will allow for my mind-image to truly come to life. (That's where the fun in my artwork really lies for me!)
