Just Create Weekend, July 27

I am back from doing things and a big thank you to Kyleri for doing the post last week! Now I need to do all the things before I start my new job in a week or two.

How are y'all doing? What have you gotten done and what are you working on?

Nice! Looking good. I've always been interested in mail, but I have too many hobbies as it is.

Thanks! It's a lot of fun and is very satisfying, but can be a bit of an investment; good jewelry pliers aren't cheap compared to the short-handled crappy ones that kill your hands or the workmen's rough ones with no springs (which are aggravating because you have to manually open them every time you go to pick up a ring), and the supplies can be pretty costly, especially if you like your metals anodized, use stainless steel, use precious metals, etc.

I've been making mail and maille jewelry for a long time, and it seems the price of rings goes up on a monthly basis these days. :P
