Another wonderful weekend spent at Arrowmont. This class centered around welding, which I learned that I cannot do. The gasses used makes my system go out of whack. But, thanks to our wonderful teacher, Frankie Tone, offering to weld my creations, I was able to complete 2 projects. He went above and beyond and for that I am grateful.
Having no experience or direction with welding, I packed a few items that I thought would be fun to work with. From my stash I chose a door peephole and a comic book and started planning. The top picture is what you see when you get up close and personal, peeking into the peep hole. To make this I got to use a large chop saw for cutting metal square bar and dowels, and a grinder, both of which threw a vast amount of wonderful sparks. Elbow grease was used to clean the edges and make them ready for welding. I grabbed my trusty wire to attach the peephole to the top crossbar and with a little adjustment the piece was complete. I enjoy making pieces that people have to interact with and with this one I was surprised at how many neglected to peep.
This morning has been spent in the kitchen peeling, cutting and cooking down apples flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and sugar. I love to have them in the freezer because they go with EVERYTHING...pancakes, apple uglies, a yummy side dish, topping for pork chops...I could go on and on. With the amount cooked I should be set for a while. Yea!
Today is a rainy, lazy, crocheting, movie watching Sunday...after the apple cooking, of course.
Enjoy what this day brings you!
