Foxtails and One Ant....Yikes.

What a week. It started off with my dog waking up with only one eye open. We really didnt really panic because, well, we opened it and his eyeball was still there. He has scratched his eye before and with a little care from us it got better quickly. He is a serious nut case outside with his ball and he always gets himself in a pickle with it. But a day went by and it looked as if it was getting worse. So I took him in Monday morning. You'll never believe this.....the doc pulled out 2 foxtails and a carpenter ant. OUT OF HIS EYELID! How does this happen?? Unreal I tell ya.
I now bring you, Cone Head. Aka Jake.



Good news came though. Mandrels and silver!! I was so excited to get my package. I was very in need of a small mandrel and not so in need of a bracelet mandrel but I got it anyway. I cant wait to get in the shop to make one! Only thing is, I guessed on the tang size. Ooops...hope it fits.



I thought Id also share a couple pretties that came out of the shop this week. Oh how I love this one. It could be a keeper. The stone is just amazing and I sure wish I could have captured it on camera. Its just so much prettier in person. Its a biggin too. 63mm (2.5 inches) from the top of the setting to the bottom.



And last but not least...this spacey thing was made. I dont know how it happend but I definitely got carried away with the dots. Are you just sick of it yet? Hope not because Im not! I love the result. It reminds me of something space like. Or bug like.



Enjoy!
