new lease on life~possibility

Maybe it is turning 40, but when I came across a post on Ali Edward's blog, it struck me.  It didn't take long this morning to find my word for 2009...

Possibility
pos-si-bil-i-ty
noun
1. the condition or fact of being possible
2. one's utmost power, capacity, or ability
3. something that is possible
4. potential or prospective value

Every situation has possibility to be good.  My goal is to enter every thing this year with possibility!

copper mother load!

It's a great day when the UPS man rings my doorbell, even though, I'm his LAST stop, oh well, he must be saving the best for last!  Some new heavy gauge wire for wrapping, oh the possibilities!
These pretty little things were made by a great group of girls.  My friend brought her staff to my house for a little fun.  We made copper enameled necklaces.  They did the entire project themselves!!!  
Here is the group photo!!!  Each one has a different personality!!!

hit & miss

Yesterday I worked on these two pieces, I love how the red/brown enamel and copper look together.  I used a paper snow flake to do a little resist with the brown enamel.
I started filing these so a little copper shows, then I used too much strength and chipped a little bit off, so bummed.
