New Semester, New Theme

Second day of Jewelry and I learned how to weave a chain today.  It seems a lot less complicated than when I researched how to do this in a book a few months ago. Phew!

Last semester, my theme was rodents.  It was really fun and I came up with so many good ideas, but I think I'm going to go out of my comfort zone this semester.  I'm moving away from mammals and moving into unchartered reptile territory.  This should be fun.  I've been researching images  of several different species of reptiles and the texture alone will bring great inspiration for pieces.  I learned how to do marriage of metals last semester and I would love to get better at it.  I think designs incorporating this technique will come easy.
