it feels so strange to be home. the last two to three weeks, i have been more or less living in the metals studio. these past three days, i came home at five or six in the morning, slept until nine or ten, then went back. sunday night, i didn't sleep. monday morning, i took my art history final, passing out for fifteen seconds at a time whilst trying to write essays.
hardcore.
the fruit of all this labor?
hollow form ring - silver and my and antimony's hair.
pirate booty ring - copper, silver and nickle silver, closed.
the skull is attached on telescoping tubing which allow it to pull out somewhat and swivel down, thus allowing the lid of the ring to swivel around and reveal the little box for little booty.
precarious balance ring - copper and silver. it glitters.
and, finally:
mr. stabby! (doot doooot doot doot doot doot!) forged steel, carved wood, cast bronze. four inch blade, pointy as fuck.
in its sheath. sheath is copper and silver. on the back is a handmade copper and nickle mechanism to allow it to attach securely to a belt loop.
detail of the signet rose thinger on the sheath (not of my design - the knife is a gift for a friend of mine who is obsessed with this symbol.) i used a sawblade the size of a human hair to cut that fucker out. it is slightly smaller than a quarter.
i'm tired.
additionally, i really fucking wish the bank would send me my replacement debit card already. it's been over a month and i still can't access my own damn money and now i'm out of checks and can't order more 'cos i can't access my own money. GAH. it's so frustrating. i couldn't buy the $25 anvil that i saw an ad for, and now the book of 1000 rings that i really fucking want is on sale on amazon.com for $10 (!! it's normally $25) and i can't get that either and damnit i can't buy christmas presents either. i'm calling them tomorrow, the fucks.
