Blooms with Books…
This little Freckle-Face plant (located in my little library) keeps blooming despite us being in the thick of Winter outside… more plant pics & such here.
Silver in Studio…
I've created a gallery of my silver work to date, this picture shown above is my most ambitious piece to date, the gallery can be found here.
I was thinking about how working with metal reminds me of how God works in our hearts & minds & lives… these are the things that are done with silver, so I'm just going to provide the list & let you meditate on how God works:
Refining - the process of removing metals from their source materials, removing impurities
Melting - turning solid metal into liquid in order to completely reform it
Casting - creating a new shape with molten metal
Annealing - applying heat in a controlled manner in order to soften metal to allow bending / shaping / forming of previously hardened material
Soldering - joining metal to metal using heat / fire
Bending / Forming - using physical forces to move & shape
Filing / Sanding - removing unwanted material, removing tool marks, removing burrs or sharp edges
Buffing / Polishing - brining forth the glow & shine of the metal
God is working to create something beautiful of my life… I hope you are experiencing Him doing the same sort of work in yours.
