new work

I am so excited about the necklace I'm working on today.  I love it.  I have a new set of ergonomic tools coming so I can work without my hands hurting.  I'm still using tools my dad gave me when I was little and he worked at Builders Emporium (olden days Home Depot).  The rubber handles have cracked and some don't function at all anymore.  I guess hardware store pliers etc. weren't made for 30+ years of hard labor.  I'll keep them though.  They hold a lot of memories.
