MARCH MADNESS CAME TO DANBURY AND SO DID I. MEETING OLD FRIENDS AND MAKING NEW ONES. THE HIGHLIGHT FOR ME WAS, FRIDAY'S CONTAINER JEWELRY CLASS WITH THE OH SO TALENTED THOMAS MANN. BOY WAS IT A CHALLENGE FOR ME. THOMAS WAS EVER SO PATIENT AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. HIS TEACHING SKILLS SUPURB. EVEN ME, THE GIRL WITH TWO LEFT THUMBS AND VERY POOR SMALL MOTOR SKILLS. LIL MISS CLUMSY WAS SLOWLY ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH AND MASTER THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONTAINER. I AM SO PROUD OF THE WORK I PRODUCED! THANK YOU THOMAS!
ANYONE SEEING THE NAME THOMAS MANN AS INSTRUCTOR ON A CLASS ROSTER RUN! DON'T WALK! ..... AND SIGN UP AND TAKE A CLASS, FOR YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT OF YOUR LIFETIME. NOT ONLY DO YOU LEARN THE SKILLS, BUT HE TEACHES YOU THE WHY'S AND HOW'S.
THAT EVENING WE GOT TO SEE A VIDEO OF HOW AND WHERE HE WORKS ( NEW ORLEANS.....WHOOO HOOO JAZZ FEST PEOPLE) AND THE LEARNING OF THE JEWLER SAW........AND I MAY NOT BE NIMBLE FINGERS BUT WITH PRACTICE AND PATIENTS I TOO WILL BE ABLE TO MASTER THIS SKILL AND DEVELOP MY ART TALENTS FURTHER BECAUSE THE WAY THIS FABULOUS (DON'T LET IT GO TO YOUR HEAD) GUY TEACHES!
ONE PIECE IS COMPLETED, RIVETS,NUTS & BOLTS AND PIN BACK :" HARBINGER OF SPRING" INCORPORATES MY NEW FOUND SKILLS WITH MY LOVE OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND FOUND OBJECTS.
NEXT PIECE ( CASE COMPLETED ART WORK STILL DEVELOPING) WILL BE A TRIBUTE TO BEAUTIFUL BIJOU! TILL NEXT TIME . SMILE AND ENJOY EACH DAY FOR THEY ARE THE PRESENT AND WHO KNOWS WHAT SURPRISE TOMORROW WILL BRING
