Ace of Base

Day 1 of class with Hadar Jacobson, heretofore the "Ace of Base". (http://www.artinsilver.com/). She's developed her own metal clay powders in copper, bronze, white bronze, steel and pearl steel. I love base metal. It's a new found love, I admit. But I see for us a great future. I even like the way it's grunge-ing under my fingernails.

My goal today was KISS (keep it simple, stupid) projects, and indeed, they are pretty simple, but the possibilities, oh my god, I hope I can sleep tonight without the ideas running endlessly through my noggin. I'm excited about finding this love, as I've poo pooed the base metals to some extent, and haven't given them enough of a chance. But with my new fire brick kiln arriving shortly and the gunk already established under my nails, I've got no good reason not to start cranking !
