First of all I have to say a big thanks to all of you who commented about Cody's departure. I feel like printing all that out and sending it in Cody's first letter. He knows how I am about my blog friends. You are all precious to me and you don't know how much it helps to hear your comforting words. I'm doing better. Just kinda antsy to get our first call. I have paper and pen ready by the phone so we can get his address. They are not allowed to give it until they get there. Enough about that! I have dove into my found object box and started making some found object jewelry. This weekend, I learned how to drill metal, hammer it out if needed and make it have a faux patina. I played for several hours with many pieces like washers, watch parts, and all kinds of things I have found on the ground. Well, most of it I found. My husband finds little treasures for me as do some of my friends. It's funny because when they give me some little metal object they picked up off ...
I've made a couple of these but I think this one (in terms of quality) is the best. I think that by using the pasta machine my clay was just the right thickness. I'm proud of the outcomes of this one and I am encouraged to try another...but one can only eat so many mints!!!! Heehee. Send tins if you would like to help!

(you could always keep the mints in a zip-lock or a jar to free up the tins when your are on a creative roll!)
I love it!
