Metal Work Weekend

I mostly did enameling, since that is what I normally do not get to do. I did get in some forge time, but I wanted to give others a chance since I can do that once a week if I want. I did get to see how TJ makes his hair pins so I can make my own if I want. Most importanty, I can make them even longer for hats if I want.
I enameled my own Cygnus, and made two more to donate to the Northshield Crown. I could do that more often, except that I don't know if the building's electrical system could handle a kiln, and I don't really have the space. I would have to put it in a room where I can shut the door. One of my cats likes to get into everything I am doing. He especially likes to play with thread, while I'm trying to embroider with it. This is what they look like, except the other two only had one hole in the copper disc.
I hope to get alot of A&S stuff done this weekend. I want to get at least half of what I have on this list done:
1. Finish pulling threads from linen for an Italian embroidered band and get it ready to embroider
2. Make beeswax cakes for embroidery classes coming up soon.
3. Put the embroidery kits together for the classes.
4. Finish shortening the stays in my corset.
5. Finish the last Italian sleeve and get the rings sewn on.
6. Put cuffs and trim my new rapier gloves.
7. Complete one thing from the repair/work in progress bin.
8. Go see the Borat movie!!! (I know I will do this).
