Studio days are never long enough. I ran all over town first - four different stops, but each one more than 20 miles away from the others. Breakfast with Meghan, Chickie and Meghan's little boy, Sebi was delightful. I've got to admit - I'm a sucker for cute kids. I don't want to have them around for long periods of time, but when they are cute, I'm totally smitten. And Sebi is an absolute doll. Very messy - but an absolute doll.
After stops at my silversmith friend's to pick up a repair, my box supplier to buy one more box, and the office supply store for paper and pens, I finally got home about 11:30 am. I began the first of three loads of laundry and loaded up my computer to work on the graphics for my backplates. I worked on those for the remainder of the afternoon, finally deciding on the basic size and how I wanted the "banner" to appear at the bottom of each one. Banners would usually be easy, but I want the banner to go through the backplate and turn into the pin catches, so I needed to determine style and fastening method. I am going to be counting on some rivets, so I hope that my riveting is up to snuff.
Then I needed some Tengwar translation, so I found my favorite website for translations and posted for some assistance. I have Tengwar fonts already installed on my computer, just need the lettering and then I can fill the banners in properly. I'll draw the vines and leaves today and I should be able to scan the pictures in by the end of the week, transfer them to my laptop, and get them printed out by Monday night. Then I can transfer the images and get them etched on Wednesday.
