jewelry.knitting.life: silly update
http://hollyberryk.blogspot.com/2013/02/silly-update.html
My house is 8 miles from sandy hook elementary school, about 6 as the crow flies. when they thought there might be a second shooter i had to go home to get my kids off the bus. there is a police officer at my kids' schools almost all the time. i teach in a classroom by a back door made entirely of glass. I've been a long time trying to learn to live in a post-sandy hook world. maybe the fact that i can put up my frivolous hair update means i'm slowly finding my way. February 8, 2013 at 1:05 PM.

jewelry.knitting.life: baby audley
http://hollyberryk.blogspot.com/2013/02/baby-audley.html
My nephew - he looks so tiny for a 9.5 pounder! The crazy thing is, he was born about 3 weeks ago, but he's not even my newest nephew! I have a grand-nephew who was born a week ago. no pictures of him yet because he's spending a little time in the NICU, learning how to keep himself warm and eat.born at 4 pounds, 5 ounces, i suspect he's going to look VERY tiny!

jewelry.knitting.life: concrete color experiment
http://hollyberryk.blogspot.com/2013/04/concrete-color-experiment.html
After taking robert dancik's EXCELLENT "box pendant with concrete" class i have found myself madly sketching a million ideas for using concrete with metal clay and by itself for jewelry. I REALLY like the texture and look of the concrete in it's natural white form but i thought i really wanted some gray or black. and i wanted it immediately. The way that concrete is tinted is with pigment powder but i, unfortunately, didn't have any. what i did. It worked just fine in both cases. I agree. The fingerp...

http://hollyberryk.blogspot.com/2012/11/a-coupla-shoula-known-betters.html
I put aside my afternoon for some studio work. i spent a few hours, but it ultimately came to nothing except lessons to 1. pay attention and 2. trust my instincts. That i has started this as a bracelet and it had a single loop on one side.and no tidy way to make a single loop on the other side.grrr. And THIS honker, that i've been working on for (literally) years? On the positive side, i think these are both going in a positive direction.i guess another day will have to be finishing day. The bracelet wil...

jewelry.knitting.life: happy birthday, dad.
http://hollyberryk.blogspot.com/2013/02/happy-birthday-dad.html
Happy birthday, dad. I think i always pick this picture, but i don't care, i just love it. I love seeing this picture every year, and getting to know your dad a little more each time you and I get together. I dont recall ever commenting on our Dads birthdays. But they are pretty close together. My dads was January 25. Kind of interesting when you consider that our moms have the exact same birthday! Its like were long lost sisters or something. February 5, 2013 at 10:51 PM. Now it all makes sense!

jewelry.knitting.life: concrete observations
http://hollyberryk.blogspot.com/2013/04/concrete-observations.html
It does seem that concrete, if mixed a little on the liquidy side, will make a reasonably-detailed reproduction of nature objects pressed into a 2-part silicone mold. these have cured for a couple of weeks and they are quite sturdy.only the thinnest of edges snap when pressure is applied. On the other hand, after curing for about a week i subjected the concrete pieces i made with black drawing ink to a little washing with soap to see if i could get rid of the ink-coming-off-on-my-damp-hands problem.
