Wow, what a whirlwind few weeks it has been.  Going to college at my age is an experience, thats for sure.  I’m having a blast so far.  I’ve attended almost 2 full weeks of classes already.  Time sure flies when you are enjoying what you are doing.

So far I have mounted 3 CZ’s into prong rings.  I am also learning how to saw, solder, bend, form and file copper.  I think our instructor likes the 80’s, because the earrings we are making so far are HUGE.  But then again, that might be the style right now, lol.

I am also taking a lost cast waxing class.  I am learning how to basically cast findings out of alloy, silver or even gold if I want.  I think I will stick to the alloy until I know what I am doing.

I hope you enjoy reading about my journey.  No promises on how often I will update.  Life gets busy.

Blessings, Deb
