Happy New... Stress 2014

This morning it downed on me: F*ck, in just a few days it is Monday again. And the coming Monday will be a stressful one: exam day, module II. I am not happy with any piece in particular so far and what blocks me is the lack of the right tools to solder, to polish and the lack of material to start again (pure silver but no possibility to alloy). I dressed up real nice (V asked me what the hell I was up to so early in the day), and took Mila (as support and because of the cute-factor), and went to a jewellery store which knows me as a client and who has a very friendly owner. Goal: get him to allow me into his studio to work on my pieces tomorrow. All the effort didn't pay off, as he wasn't going to take the risk of having a control and having to explain I am not an illegal worker in his shop :-( I do understand where he comes from but I was also disappointed. The only thing that keeps me going is the support of my fellow students who all are facing the same type of problems. I moved my studio for it to be in the center of my living room now, because in the corner it is cold and I felt like I was being punished. I then resumed work and spend all evening until now at the bench. Made new todo lists etc... long way to go, the end is NOT in sight just yet :-( Luckily have you too listen to my complaints and sheer me up!

Oh, by the way: Happy New Year 2014!!
