Konstanz is hoT hot. I don't have the right attire for this kind of heat. I actually need a bathing suit.. was not expecting this. At Zobel I've been working on a few more clasps, both with moonstones like the others but more geometric and slightly more challenging. They are nearly done so I will post photos soon. I worked for a half day at the Atelier last week and I always have so much fun there and learn a lot from one of the fine ladies that works there. She knew I was itching to make something different so when I walked in she asked if I wanted to make a ring:) So I got started on it and will go in another day this week to finish. You can see the beginnings of it below. It's got a great form and fits so beautifully on the hand. It's one of the Zobel top sellers. The surface will sparkle with diamonds when it's finished. When I leave there not only did I learn more about the techniques at Zobel but much more about the industry, other leading artists, and sources for materials and inspiration for my own collection. It is a completely different experience than working in the workshop and I'm honored to have been able to soak in a bit of both. Today I spent the entire day laying in the grass surrounded by tiny little flowers in purple and white, soaking in the rays and watching as summer begun for the locals. My girlfriend is back from Peru and I couldn't be happier. Tonight we will have a BBQ on her roof top garden and kiss the weekend goodbye until next time. I've got 3 weeks left and to be honest, despite my love for my job, I'm itching to head to London for it's most vibrant time. Summer is just kicking off there too and a lot of people are on holidays because of the upcoming royal wedding. Not to mention the many street parties that are going to be kicking off soon. So that could be in my crystal ball in the next week or so. I'm sitting on the patio at a cafe, drinking Prosecco.. it's time to run my nose is turning red.. Until next time.. XOxo
