Tè del Commercio Inter-Galattico: Terra di Antares

Done.  Pinched a nerve doing two hours of work in nine hours finishing this.  Ridiculous.  Only idea/inspiration posts for the rest of the month.

Un Altro Tè Infusore

 I know, I'm not supposed to be making anything right now, but I started this weeks ago, and I have to finish it in order to get an incomplete in forming.  At least I got all of the chasing finished before my arms turned into noodles.

It's a tea infuser.  Not quite finished yet, I'm making it an oblong chain and giving it a dark patina with the edges rubbed back.  It'll be lovely.  It doesn't quite hang at the angle I'd wanted, but I failed to account for the weight of the silver changing the balance.  Because that would have taken math, that's why.

Tendiniti Rovine Tutto

This is the last update I'll be posting on this project for several months.  I've got tendinitis in both of my arms and have been instructed to not make anything at all for at least 2 weeks, after which I may go back to half my usual work load.  Ridiculous!  The next two weeks are going to be hell (mostly for my roommate, who will have to listen to me complain).  This piece will be finished in the spring, but until then, here it is at 32 courses.

Un Turbante con Molto Ritardo

il Processo di Formazione Continua ...

I think this is at 19 courses of raising... or 18.

la Torta di Compleanno Migliore

This cake was my  (tastewise) cake masterpiece.  It was a flourless (read: French) chocolate cake topped with a pecan-laden cheesecake, covered  in butter cream and served with a hot raspberry sauce.

I take the choice out of cake or death.

l'Arte della Tavola... Due

The show was most excellent.
