Hand Exercises – coming soon – Part 2

October 9, 2007

My hand problems would appear to be due to osteoarthritis. I don’t have any new exercises to share right new, but I’ve found the hand movements from bellydance to be very helpful for relaxing the hands (rippling fingers, wrist rotations, etc.). For the moment, the hand therapist had two suggestions: (1) wear a splint at […]

Vital Information for Women

October 4, 2007

A friend sent me this note which I want to pass on to everyone who reads this: Women and heart attacks (Myocardial infarction) Did you know that women rarely have the same dramatic symptoms that men have when experiencing heart attack…you know, the sudden stabbing pain in the chest, the cold sweat, grabbing the chest […]

Hand Exercises – coming soon

October 3, 2007

I’ve been taking a variety of jewelry classes over the last month and I’ve really used my hands a lot. As a result, they’ve been sore and sometimes swollen. I’m assuming most of the problems with my hands are due to arthritis (maybe more than I already knew about). My physician referred me to some […]

Scarab update

September 29, 2007

The weaving of the woven scarab is almost done. I hope to complete the piece in the coming week. I was really excited by the naalbinding technique – I’m going to add a neckpiece done in naalbinding plus an outline of the entire piece in naalbinding. The design has changed a bit since I started […]

I’m looking forward to it – this will be my first time at Wildacres. Anyway, here’s the promised shot of the weaving.

Going out of town

August 17, 2007

This weekend I’m driving to William Holland Lapidary School for some classes. I haven’t done this in some time and I’ve never been to William Holland. I’ve finished a trial version of the pin that’s to be added to the woven scarab. I’ll post it now, but I probably won’t get to do any more […]

Here’s What I’ve Been Working On

August 14, 2007

My trial project woven necklace project is proceeding. My object is to have everything ironed out before I start working with silver. I have a couple of photos to post to show the progress I’ve made so far. I decided the design would be a scarab. First I drew the pattern for the design and […]

Something New

August 6, 2007

I’ve been experimenting with a design for a pin this evening. I haven’t done a pin before and it will take more practice to get the proper spring into the pin itself. I’m not sure that the design I’ve done is what I’ll end up using, but it’s a beginning. I want to use a […]
