Like tangible things.
With my hands.
Myself and the folks with whom I share an employer ventured to Oakland to spend the day at an industrial arts facility in the name of team building.
Where I made things.
With my hands.
In Glass Fusing class I designed a beverage coaster with a sunflower on it. To make it I had to employ the use of one of those glass cutters that cat burglars use to sneak through windows in action movies. I don't have a picture of my sunflower beverage coaster because it's currently firing in a kiln. But as far as beverage coasters go, it's pretty friggin' rad.
After Glass Fusing I attended a Leather Working course where I cut, scored and dyed strips of animal skin to make bracelets. Leather ones. Which, like the sunflower beverage coaster, are pretty friggin' rad.
And finally I partook in Woodworking where I used half-a-dozen different power tools to turn a flat, square slab of wood into a dish for my keys.
Just look at those edges!
As it turns out, I'm kinda handy. Handsy? Whatever.
I made stuff today.
With my hands.
Those bracelets are gorgeous. (Everything else is lovely, too. :) Looking forward to the glass pic!
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you, kind lady. How are the little ones?
