I think I'll get to the really fun stuff first... 'cause it's Saturday, and it's sunny, and I feel like playing... So...
Under the "I Want One Of These" category:

My son says he'd use it to "make another me", so he'd never get borded again. heh. I guess I'd like that too. But... imagine a polymer clay tool that, with the touch of a button, could change shape into any tool you would like. Heh heh heh!

I have finally gotten *cough* most of *cough* a new tutorial up on my Etsy Shop. This one is for one of my most favorite canes... a striped Skinner Blend cane. (Part 3 should be done by the end of the weekend *cough*).

Oh... I also had an article published in Art Jewelry Magazine last month on how I use those addictive aluminum cuff blanks (there's also a bit in that issue on my solar studio, as well as some cool ideas to make your studio more green). For those who are interested, there's also desktop wallpapers available on the magazines site, including this one:

Hi Melanie, Thank you for sharing your instructions for the cuff bracelets. I bought the mag and made 2, and another half done, with my own canes. Anyway, used the 3/4 inch? cuff and having a little trouble wearing it. It is easily pulled open. The one that's half done is a wider cuff, so haven't worn it yet. Have you had this happen with your finished cuffs? I used the aluminum ones I got from you several Shrinemont's ago.
I have been following your art and love it all! Emily Miller
