I usually get up and get going on things early on Saturday mornings. But today I slept late. That's very unusual for me. I'm a morning person.
Almost everyone at the office has been sick, or is getting over being sick. So last week was truly busy and challenging, with many folks at home ill.
So I've got a lot to do today. I've got packages to finish, wrap and ship. I've got to send the finished faux amber pieces out after I attach my name label to all the pieces.
This morning I made some chain links. Part were for an order, and some were to add to the shop.
I got really pretty patina on this group. A little blueish, and very warmly golden.
No matter how I try to find a pattern in the colors I get on the fine silver from the liver of sulphur, it's always different.
I think it must be related to the weather somehow. The patina will lighten, if you use a Sunshine cloth on them. But I like the heavy patina, so I leave them.
So I've got to get back in the studio and finish my packaging and make a run to the Post Office.
And maybe stop for some lunch at a deli on the way back. How decadent!

oooh, aaah, that patina is beautiful! take care of yourself, Lynn. We can't be having you sick too.
Oh, the tree is a red oak. Maybe they are native out in this part of TX? I'll find out. But I do have a redbud, a native one, and it is glorious in spring and blooms with the deep purple iris. It always the very welcome first sign of spring. These redbuds are very different from the ones you have up there.
Lynn,
