back to school

After a good spring break I am ready to hit the welder a few more times before school is out in May. I found a local blacksmith who has cut me out some small feather shaped pieces of metal so I can make things faster. I was cutting each one out individually with a plasma cutter. They were each unique but also very time consuming. I want to get a few things made before school is out and this should help me. Be ready for more pictures soon.

Monday morning

Sun again today. Yesterday was warm but overcast. Today I have to work so why not be wonderfully sunny out. I have been busy this morning working on stock car group stuff. It sometimes seems like I dont have a minute to myself then I see my spot on the couch and know that I spend WAYYYY to much time parked there. I was at Kirks on saturday and was eyeing his piles of metal. He may notice some piles get smaller but I promise to make something neat with whatever I find. Have a great day readers.

Sunday afternoon

Wow. First day of spring here and the temp says its 60 something outside. I am excited to have my field cultivator home. its a 3 point that fits on my tractor. I am sure I over paid for it but I wanted it and saved my dimes for it. I is metal so I can fix it if it breaks. It does need some new parts but I can weld the old ones into stuff. I am planning on making a frog for a lady at work when I get back to school. I also plan to make some more flowers. I am excited to have all these ideas in my head and I put them in my notebook so I can try and eventually make them. So have a great day and know pictures of more artwork will be forthcoming.

my owl

Thursday

School tonight. I am going to finish up Pats owl and have pics of it to post later. I love it. I guess my new favorite thing is making feathers.

Samples of metalwork

Friday

Wow this week went fast. Between bible studies, school and some occasional work time is flying by. I am so excited for spring. Cara has her onion plants growing. She could put them in her cold frame now if she wanted to. The chickens are busy and enjoy the scraps I bring them. Caras wont eat them so she gives her scraps to her other chickens. I went to school last night and it was snowing really bad. Many cars in the ditch on 380. I think people forget how to drive in it. My owl for Pat is coming along. School has been sort of productive. Going one night a week doesnt get me alot of time to produce stuff. Snow is nice and pretty this morning. We got about 4 or 5 inches here. Think spring!
