Oh bliss and happiness! Things are finally falling into place. Found a gorgeous house to rent on the top of a hill in Atascadero, near San Luis Obispo. I'll move in a couple of weeks, so the packing can now begin in earnest. I'm SO looking forward to living with a little space in my life. And living in a place with a bit of a slower pace, so that I might balance out my analog and digital interests.
And speaking of that analog portion of my life... I'm in the middle of my second workshop at Silvera Jewelry School up in Berkeley. OMG, it's such a blast. Working with your hands totally rocks!!! I've learned to set stones, perform basic metal work and create wax models for lost wax casting. I've learned so much in such a short time. The setup in Berkeley is fantastic, they have everything you need to really create right off the bat. And Joe and Anat, the owners at Silvera, are incredibly talented, helpful and inspiring.
Uh oh, I may have another side job in the works!!
