• Keys and Locks

  
  LLYYNN — Authority: 127
  I learned something useful this weekend. Usually, when Im drilling through the resin or pewter, I hold the item in my hand and use the rotary tool with the drill bit in it. Its sort of scary having a rapidly turning drill bit close to your hands and fingers. And as clumsy as Ive been lately, I know I better watch ...

• Hero Worship, Medals and Awards

  
  LLYYNN — Authority: 127
  I have a liking for things that look like awards and medals. So when my surprise package arrived, I was thrilled to see some real medals. Some I would have to carefully cast, they cant be taken apart, I may have to make partials and then re-cast. But these two are very fun, one is from the Centennial, the dates ...

• Belle Armoire Winter Issue - Amazing Stuff

  
  LLYYNN — Authority: 127
  Did you hear a loud "WOO HOO" last night around 6:00 pm when I went to the Post Office? It finally arrived, my copy of Belle Armoire Jewelry for Winter, so I could see the article about the collaboration between Deryn Mentocks designs and my humble cast pewter and fused glass! I intend to sit down and read it ...

  BagBunch - Bags, Handbags & Purses — Authority: 575
  Jessica McClintock produces an elegant bag with this incredibly simple art deco purse. The sharp angular metal frame of this evening bag works incredibly well as a minimalist structure for the rest of this delicate purse to rely upon. From the solid metal it moves to the thin chain fringe, a bold contrast against ...

  First I’d like to thank all the people who have been Googling Steve Duemig over the past couple years and clicking on my stories.  When you Google him now, you get a Wikipedia entry, and then articles entitlesd “How Does Steve Duemig Continue To Be Employed” and “Steve Duemig Accomplishes Something Besides ...

• Get Your Holiday Table Ready For Its Close-Up – Tidy Tuesday

  
  Hillbilly Housewife Blog — Authority: 120
  As you start pulling all your best dinnerware and serving pieces out of their hiding places for your holiday meal, take a good look at them.  Could they use a bit of tender loving care? Perhaps they’ve just been gathering dust and need only a regular wash, rinse, and dry.  Or maybe they have not been cared for ...

• Glassy Blue Pretties

  
  LLYYNN — Authority: 127
  I was messing around in the studio last night, finishing some requested items, and while I was waiting for some metal to cool -- no more touching with hands, no no NO --- my eyes turned toward some fused dichroic glass cabochons Id made earlier in the year. I guess with all the sparklies and shiny things at this ...

• Egg Head

  
  zedomax.com — Authority: 590
  This is a very unusual egg cup; clearly it is a skull and could be classed as being a little bit amusing, but not necessarily practical at the breakfast table. It has been made out of some sort of pewter and so has that look of something old and yet some people would like to eat their breakfast from this, are they ...

• Charlotte Angel Was Worth It

  
  LLYYNN — Authority: 127
  Well, the hands are cleaner today. However, I did manage to burn myself -- twice. A while back, you may remember, when I got a new soldering iron, I burned my left hand middle finger by accidently touching the business part of the soldering iron. It healed up, I just have a little scar. Hurt like crazy, though. ...

  FanSided — Authority: 587
  Some random thoughts from today’s game.This is becoming really depressing.Josh Freeman forced a lot of passes today, something he hasn’t really done thusfar in his rookie campaign.  You can’t combine poor accuracy with forced throws, or you end up throwing 5 INT’s.Should have run the ball more, it was ...

• Creative Mess Hands On

  
  LLYYNN — Authority: 127
  Ive been working on some special orders. I needed to make several Eiffel Tower charms for someone, and some more headpins. Ive been working on things for a while, and my poor hands are messy. On Monday mornings I soak my hands for a long time and take a nail brush to them. It helps, but sometimes it take several ...

• Metal bits from a RepRap

  
  RepRap: Blog — Authority: 121
  OK, so as always I cheat a bit. I used the ancient art of lost-wax casting, substituting PLA for wax. It burns/vapourises away cleanly at low temperature and is relatively benign stuff. So, how do you go about turning your PLA RepRap output into metal? I took one standard-issue Mighty Reprap Power Ring in PLA as a ...

• Bucs vs Panthers Reverse Gameplan

  
  FanSided — Authority: 587
  Sometimes I feel like Raheem Morris reads this website (we know this isn’t true, we’re just pretending now), looks at the Game Previews that I put up, and does the exact opposite.  For this version of the Game Preview, I’m going to go Anti-Gameplan style.We should run the ball under 10 times, as we all [...]

• Spoon Tops and Roses

  
  LLYYNN — Authority: 127
  Ive been playing with a design for a charm and headpin that looks like the top of vintage spoons, with the scrolls and ornate look of old english silver, and then made a pair of earrings using them. Ive started finishing the backs of the pewter pieces with a brushed metal look, its very traditional. These are ...

• Time, Watchworks and Timepieces

  
  LLYYNN — Authority: 127
  I have things timely on my mind. You know how I always say I dont like to take apart antiques, and that includes watches. Even when they dont run anymore. Just something I dont like to do, but I do like the way the insides look. All the metal and gears, springs and wheels. Facinating. So I decided to compromise, ...
