Labor Day

I enjoy working in my workroom on holidays. Holidays, early in the day, are splendidly quiet. The traffic is light and even lawn mowers don't do much. Later on in the day people get a bit active in the hurry up and have fun mode, but the mornings are wonderful.

This fellow I started on yesterday, and pretty much finished it up this morning. I was going to change the bale. But think not now. He's carved out of wax, and will be cast into sterling silver. The circular bezel will hold a 3 mm stone.

He's kind of a fun way to get back into things. I've been busy with, ah, "life" I suppose you might say. If paying bills is considered life, and not a slow death!

I know what you mean about certain neighborhood noises not being around on holiday mornings.

I like how the design cradles the penny.

I am loving all your creative uses for found change! Now something else has to go on the wish list. Sigh. The bale looks perfect, its a nice top balance in silver to the base. Any idea what color stone you will use?
