          The next 2 we were supposed to drape fabric and paint it. Water colors.

            The last one I did prior to art school. It's of the USS Barry, the ship I was on in the Navy. Acrylic.

                          Fascinating! I just googled it and it definitely resembles the same twelve point circle with which I begin my process. But that's just the starting point, there are eleven more steps for me. I've been using a twelve point circle as my daily journal for eleven years now, it's like my walking labyrinth, but with writing.

                          I draw lines and write on both sides, normally in cursive and normally rotating clockwise, here's a pic (please excuse the haphazard sketch, I'm out of the studio but wanted to roughly illustrate the process). I left out the last step just to keep some mystery  ;):

                          And here's what it looks like when done:

                            Pulled together this custom bag strap for one of my bags.

                            Made it from:

                            • 50mm olive seatbelt webbing purchased from a Supplier to the British military.

                            • 50mm Austrialpin mil-spec Cobra buckle.

                            • Mil-spec ITW Nexus tri-glide

                            • Antique effect brass trigger snaps

                            Measuring, marking and cutting.

                            For sealing the edges of the webbing….

                            The finished article….

                                Some local jade I've found…


                                These are just the small pieces. Really want to cast a sterling ring using the lost wax method, shape the white nephrite (mutton fat) jade into a cabochon, and create an epic super heavy ring in the Navajo tradition… It might be the only one of it's kind in that style with American white nephrite jade. Surely irreverent for most, but it has me drooling. Then I will make a bolo! Will draw up some sketches in a few....

                                    Cheers sabergirl. Making some progress. Thinking I'll stick to a simple ring design somewhere in the 50g range. 🙂
