seem to be for plumbing projects these days.

At least there was no solder involved this week. And the good news is that the ever-running toilet is now fixed. Chalk one up for the handywoman. =)

what do I do?

Make earrings =)

Some batik-y spears:

and some more refined etched translucent earrings:

All in all, not bad for a day’s play. And yes, the earwires were anodized to match the earrings. Fun, eh?

what’s going on?

May 4, 2008 | Category: off the top of my head | Leave a Comment

Creative content has been severely limited by my other responsibilities of late. I’ve spent two of my weekend days learning all about plumbing and soldering copper, and the nights doing some much-needed web maintenance. Yes, there has been some knitting, but not much else. My fishy niobium disks? Languishing unloved. The polymer work table? Gathering dust.

I need to do something about that. Fortunately, I get to go out to NWPCG’s Clay Camp in a couple of weeks, and the combination of a change of scenery, spending time with friends, and being in the company of creative people always seems to spark my desire to be creative as well. Hopefully, this time won’t be any different.

In the meantime, perhaps I should stop surfing, and start doing? Hmmm.

gallery - fixed

You’d think it would be easy to fix a small problem with an online photo gallery, wouldn’t you?

I tried the easy fix (upgrading to the current version of the software), but that didn’t seem to do the job. So… I hauled out my toolkit and installed Zenphoto. It looked so clean on Libby’s site, so how could I resist?

I’m sure there will be some tweaks coming, but in the meantime I’m happy enough with it.

Sorry for any/all broken links for images in previous posts - they’re part of the bug that led me to this in the first place. If you want to see the larger images, you can find them in the new gallery.

There’s a link in the sidebar, but here’s another. Jenn’s Zen Gallery
