May 16th Class at NWACC - At the Crossing

Today's class began with more work on the dremel drill, with new drill bits thanks to Tamarra.  This week we all saw dust as we drilled holes to put in wires to make jewelry.   As a special surprise, the fire alarm interrupted us (not really, there was a fire drill right then).  We do keep our work safe and steady.  I am continually thrilled with the leopard jasper, top left as an amazing example of rocks God gave us to enjoy the animal kingdom while we work with stones.  Most of these are from California, where Tamarra used to live. She started her hobby in her yard, and used stones she found on the beach.  This was a real lesson in how to fashion our own pendants.  The rock in the right foreground has some real gold in it.  The amount is miniscule unless the whole rock is shattered and more falls out.  Still it has some fascinating facets in it.  It is quartz, last weeks drusy source.T

Our drill instructor - Dremel drill.
Tamarra  is now able to give facials as well, at Generations to help us remove the rock dust which may escape to our faces. Just kidding--I'll be getting a facial soon!








These are Tamarra's work from today.



Carol showed us how to make "hangovers" for our glasses.  Below you see one on a glass. They can be used for any occasion.  More uses of wire and jewelry gear!







Marj has been working with earrings and wires.


Marj  is always adding new ideas to class too.
