Going it on my own

Well I moved out of the studio I was in with a bunch of friends.  It was a half hour away and I just felt like it was too much travel to dabble in silversmithing.  So I have set up an at home studio.  No where near as good as what my friend has but it's what I've got.  I miss my bench mates i played with everyday and their creative input.  Hopefully we are getting together this week for breakfast and to catch up.  I'm currently working on a seaglass necklace for fun.  I finished my turquoise necklace a while ago but finally got a piece of velvet to photograph it on which makes it much easier to see.  This is just a pic from my phone I need to set up my light box and take a good pic but this is what i have so far.  I learned a lot making this which is what I seem to say every time I touch metal.  One of these days I hope to not touch that metal so much when it is searing hot!  You'd think I'd learn that faster!
