Second Wednesday means Eastside!

A group of eight artists who meets once a month to make art,

hear news, have important discussions, and eat.

Today we were four, really missing Erin, Norma, Libby & Josie.

Our host Jody, is in her new home and it's gorgeous.

A home full of treasures, I zeroed in on the beautiful giant beads?

But that was the theme for the day.

And the view!

Jody made a delicious brunch of quiche, potatoes,

strawberries, peaches with yogurt, tea and coffee.

Jody's project for us was a stretchy bead bracelet,

with a soldered charm on copper. She had samples.

Three had jewelry experience, so I had great teachers to help me.

I learned to prep the copper for soldering, use flux, 

and ... I didn't get burned.

 I made two bracelets, the first one took two and a half hours.

The second took just under an hour. Learning curve?

 Thank you Jody, Linda & Sherrill for you patience.

Thank you Jody for sharing your new home.
