I’ve been jewellery socializing (as the Americans spell it). Saturday night was the Seattle Metals Guild<\/a> (SMG) annual Christmas Potluck Party with Ornament Swap. I made the ornament below out of the lid of a tin can which I enamelled, which went to one of the the party hosts Cynthia Toops<\/a>. (And yes, I forgot to photograph it before I took it to the party but luckily Cynthia put it straight onto her tree so I could surreptitiously snap a pic.) I then picked Dana Cassara’s name out of the hat, and cheerfully wore home (and then decorated my tree with) a work by the current head of the SMG and owner of local open studio Danaca Design<\/a>. Well played, universe!<\/p>\n

Sunday morning, rather bleary-eyed (though less so than some others who stayed longer at the party than me and Turbo) around a table at Micki Lippi<\/a>‘s house there was another, smaller SMG gathering, this time consisting of the Committee for the next SMG Symposium. Somehow (OK, via the forces of Micki, that’s how) I have ended up on the committee, and in charge of the book stall at the next symposium next fall<\/em>. And in being around for all the other job assignments on Sunday I’ve ended up with some promotional duties as well. Like everyone else around the table, I also get to add my 2 cents worth on who the speakers might be. Given the list of potential candidates was as long as my arm, and was reduced to maybe a third of that amount over the course of most of the 2 hour meeting, I think the final list is still a way off. I’ll keep you posted!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
