I made this!!!

Look mommy, put it on the fridge!!!

Just feeling good about playing with my metal casting furnace. After two false starts, (one cracked casting, and one crucible failure) I finally managed to cast a replacement key for a set of large cabinets. It's all roughed out on the grinding wheel, just have to finish it in the morning.

Now I'm thinking about digging out my needles and working on a hat for one of the kids living with us. Maybe Fair Isle knit. Sweet.

Now my usual warning, melting or working with metal is extremely dangerous and may cause serious injury, do not try it at home. Plus, if you blog about it, you'll probably look like a dork and scare people away, damaging your rank.

Anybody else make anything cool this weekend?

I stamped, colored and glittered some dominoes that I am going to use to make necklaces for my imaginary etsy store that I really am going to start someday soon. 

I also practiced face painting some calaveras.  I wish I were a better painter.  It's hard painting yourself in the mirror though.  That's my excuse anyway.

Video editing of an Airshow my youngest and I went to Sunday. But since it's not done I guess I did nothing!

Was there a picture with this? Maybe I just can't see it from work.

This weekend I made my belly fatter with delicious Haagen-Daz ice cream. Does that count?

Good to see you back and melting things Sewsalot.

No picture. I took a few, but do you really think I'm so technologically advanced as to fuck with a digital camera, load it onto a computer, dump it on photobucket or some such, then link it when I could be rediscovering poorly, technological processes that were in an advanced state thousands of years before I was born? You know I'm a luddite savant...

P.S. Talisein still lives???!!! Wow!
