Today will be spent with me running around like a crazy chicken. Circles, loop-de-loops, etc - I'll be all over town from North to East, back North, then Southwest, then back North again. I'd better remember to get some gas first thing this morning or else I won't make it very far!
My day will start with breakfast with the Chickie and our friend Meghan. Hopefully Meghan's little boy, Sebi, can also join us. Meghan and Sebi are returning to Peru for a few months in two weeks, and then, after they get back home, they'll be packing up for a move to northern Michigan. So Chickie and I wanted to be sure to catch them before they left on this stage of their travels. We're going to miss them!
My afternoon will be spent working on the text and embellishments for my copper backplates. I'm still thinking about how I want to do the actual setting of the enamel - whether I want it set from the front or the back and whether I want prongs, tabs, or a full ledge. But even without determing the exact setting, I can work on the text and pictures. I want to get this to the point where I can print this out and etch it next Wednesday, so I have my design work cut out for me. I'm feeling much better about this though. I just wasn't happy with the silver - it didn't really compliment the enamelwork. I think the etched, and maybe pierced, copper will be a vast improvement. Have a creative day!
