coldfeetstudio: cats, dogs, tennis balls and joshua ledet

http://coldfeetstudio.blogspot.com/2012/05/cats-dogs-tennis-balls-and-joshua-ledet.html

Thursday, May 10, 2012. Cats, dogs, tennis balls and joshua ledet. So far today is a sofa day. Hopefully I'll be able to get off it at some point but I'm not holding my breath. Every so often I have a slump, and, 'go into one', as it's known as in England. Don't really know why. Perhaps I'm just tired, but I feel a bit low and useless. You know. One of those low and useless days :). Willow is a tennis ball collector extraordinaire. Spencer sits right next to be. Wally sits on my lap and Pickles on th...

coldfeetstudio: jewelry versus painting versus the sofa

http://coldfeetstudio.blogspot.com/2012/05/jewelry-versus-painting-versus-sofa.html

Friday, May 11, 2012. Jewelry versus painting versus the sofa. I did get off the sofa yesterday and go into the studio. I decided on jewelry and tidied my table. I know the corner doesn't look. Tidy, but, believe me, it is. So this made me feel good. I felt really accomplished before I even started anything. I was good to go. But then, everything I touched went wrong. Yep, everything. No exaggeration. So, I gave up, no point going on down a soul destroying path, and thought, I know, I'll paint. We're ser...

What’s not been going on. | COLD FEET STUDIO

http://coldfeetstudioblog.com/2016/12/whats-not-been-going-on

What’s not been going on. – COLD FEET STUDIO. Just between you and me. What’s not been going on. Getting out of bed for one. I’m just up and it’s midday. I keep telling myself, don’t think about it girl, just put your feet on the floor and straighten them knees up, but as I always over think everything I’m still waiting for that to work. What can I say, except that’s it exactly. What can I say? I’m boring myself to death in a dense pit of gunk so why bring everyone else down? I do think about everyone.

I’m off to jolly old England :) | COLD FEET STUDIO

http://coldfeetstudioblog.com/2016/12/im-off-to-jolly-old-england

I’m off to jolly old England :) – COLD FEET STUDIO. Just between you and me. I’m off to jolly old England :). I gave it a smiley face there because I’m really happy that I’m going home to see my family, but even as I write this I can feel the anxiety tingling away in my chest having a party all on its own. Big chicken when it comes to flying. I’ve spent this week saying goodbye to all of my stuff. Slowly at first, but with more sadness yesterday and today. Did I mention the melodramatic part? This entry ...

Whew | COLD FEET STUDIO

http://coldfeetstudioblog.com/2016/06/whew

Whew – COLD FEET STUDIO. Just between you and me. FOUR days with no tears! I was beginning to despair. And yesterday after finding I needed to sleep on the sofa from 2:30 to 4:30, which I guess is another symptom of grief, I finally made it into the studio. I nearly came straight back to the sofa as I had no energy whatsoever, but then I had a thought. Hadn’t had one of those for a while so it kind of caught me off guard. Instead of the radio I plugged my phone into the speakers and blasted music. I&#821...

Sad news | COLD FEET STUDIO

Sad news – COLD FEET STUDIO. Just between you and me. One day he was there, rummaging around his cage, making important decisions like what to have for lunch. Oh yeah, that dried up food in that little bowl there. That’ll do. Then he got pneumonia. He went to the vets. Had an x-ray (don’t talk to me about it). Got medicine and special care food. Came home with a 50/50 chance. And all I could think about was how I called him a sex offender. Not to his face though, so that must count for something. Click t...

coldfeetstudio: Bracelets, Pots, and Soup.

http://coldfeetstudio.blogspot.com/2012/02/bracelets-pots-and-soup.html

Monday, February 27, 2012. Bracelets, Pots, and Soup. New bracelets in my shop,. I've been in the studio painting some old pots I made ages ago,. When these are fired they will be variations of blue. And - here are some mugs,. These wont be blue. And here is a weird, flower, thingy. I call them triffids after John Wyndham's, The Day of the Triffids. They look too sweet to be man eating plants, but hey, I have to get my psychotic side out somehow. On a lighter note, we had a good soup last night! It's jus...

coldfeetstudio: Buttons. Rated PG13, for some blood and disturbing images.

http://coldfeetstudio.blogspot.com/2011/11/buttons-rated-pg13-for-some-blood-and_29.html

Tuesday, November 29, 2011. Buttons. Rated PG13, for some blood and disturbing images. This how I make my buttons. Basic soldering skills, a few tools and some Band-Aids are all that are needed. Once you have the idea down you can go to town with your designs and stop relying on other sources to get the jewelry supplies you're looking for. And a cordless, hand held, dremel. But, in general, I find the hand held torches to be a bit disappointing for soldering. And a little solder. Cut the edges of the scr...

coldfeetstudio: When is a chain not a chain ...

http://coldfeetstudio.blogspot.com/2012/03/when-is-chain-not-chain.html

Thursday, March 15, 2012. When is a chain not a chain . Start by making jump rings. This is my jump ring maker. Looks handy, and it's only $15. Not sure how sturdy it is though. Most of my tools come from either Rio Grande. I get my silver from Rio Grande. I bought some from a different site once and it was filled with so much copper that as soon as I sanded it it was pink. Don't chance it unless you really trust the site you're buying from. I used 20 gauge sterling silver wire to make these rings. This ...
