Eek! I almost missed out on my first class for new semester! It's whole day tomorrow so if I missed it I'll have to withdraw from it. Good thing I checked my time table way ahead of time.

My garden has been covered by frost the last few mornings which means its cold out in my studio. I know that's nothing for those of you who get snow in winter, but Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia does not prepare one for temperatures below 20 degree C! This means I have been hiding inside the house during the nights instead making beads.

What I have been doing is making chain maille bracelets. I finally got my new tools and pre-made rings that I bought. So I'm having great time sitting in front of the TV cuddling up to my dog and experiment with different designs. Just for the fun of it, I also got some brass rings and I have been mix it with silver rings for myself. I really love the look as it's a deep rose gold colour which is prettier than some of the low K gold IMHO. But so far it's not holding up at tarnish front. I'll need to look into how to tarnish resist them so I don't have to tumble them all the time.
