Day 85

Riveting a Pendant

Day 258

I spent a few minutes pounding away on my metal rivets and completed my pieces. It's not the best picture because it was taken with my iPhone, but you kinda get the idea. Now I need to find the correct size of dowel to make the jump rings and the clasp.

Day 246

I didn't finish my bracelet in the riveting class I took last Saturday and I really need to give back the tools I borrowed. This inspired me to get myself downstairs during nap time and pound away on some metal. I didn't have time to complete the piece I was working on before Aaron woke up from his nap, so I brought him downstairs in hopes that he would sit and watch tv with his brother so I could finish. Aaron isn't my couch potato like older brother, so he decided to come help mom. It's a super close up picture because he was sitting on my lap, but Aaron did a really good job being gentle with the hammer. His curiosity is on fire everyday and I want to encourage that little curious mind to explore and learn.
