Warning: If you are here anticipating my class going as well as ( fantastic5) Ann's You will be disappointed! My class came and went. Pros: I'm pretty darn good at soldering, I learned several polishing techniques and lastly, my creative juices stop flowing under a dead line 😂. I finished (sorta) a ring an a pendant. My pendant, when I find it again, will be transformed into a bracelet. Seriously thinking about taking the bail of of the pendant, cold connecting it onto an old leather belt that I'll repurpose into a bracelet. For some reason it screams I NEED WARM BRASS AROUND ME. The week wasn't a total wash. We went up early and mined at Rose Creek all day and brought home awesome stuff (will post pics another day/different category). We spend 2 days in an awesome town called Helen, GA. Went inner tubing: , , Tasted the local food and drink: , Shopped: My sis had this Hand Blown for me. Isn't the rock pick the coolest thing EVER , . I leave again this Saturday. Going through Atlanta ( jamesp), staying in Summerville, Ga Saturday night to Rockhound for Summerville Agates ( fantastic5) come join me, Ann and Jim! Then off to William Holland again for a Cab class! Whooo I'll be glad when summer wines down.

Y'all come see me on the inbound or the outbound. I am no competition for German town Helen. That place is fun. That cold water sure looks inviting. Great find. Looks like school is paying big dividends. I see you have a degree to hang on the wall. Now melting glass is an insane skill. Gotta work fast and be a serious artiste. Amazing work. Pink inner tubes ? lol. That ain't the real thing !! Hope you didn't go off that 100 foot waterfall.

Give me some ETA and date info if possible so I can bathe . Helen has been a big attraction for many years. Kind of a Switzerland look alike. If you get a chance could you inquire if those folks have ever seen that high grade yellow/green mountain soapstone ?
