What did you accomplish today?

[cannabiscrusader]

I learned a new song on guitar today. Mr. Jones by the counting crows. Easy song to learn, fun to play, everyone knows the words.

Down by the river too, by Neil Young.

I need to get a harmonica, maybe start with a kazoo and work my way up to slide whistle first

Love harp. Easy to start with, cheap and always in my pocket. Playing even when driving a car.

Gets real cold when I play guitar in the car. I'd have to branch out to some Tom Petty before I make that kind of commitment.

Piano man from Billie Joel is in the key of C.

Being geologist myself, I had to look, what Tanzanite is . Have you ever worked with tectites, like Moldavites (Vltavin)? Love them, even when it´s just a "glass". Especially in combination with red garnets, beautifull stuff....

I may have. I've seen and touched a lot of interesting things in the last 14 years in coture jewelry. I could make a whole album. I photograph the interesting things when I'm able.

I play guitar like I grow weed, just good enough so everyone knows what it was supposed to be

What i remember from scholl, black tourmaline (Schorl species ) was used for cleaning pipes (something with static electricity). You see, what university grade is good for.... I´m doing groundwatter now, so nothing special with minerals, but still can admire nice work with gems.

Wow, that last opal set is nice!

Wow, that last opal set is nice!

Over a hundred years old. Look at the cut of the diamonds. Way before the invention of the old European cut. Back in a time when pieces like these had a custom hand made box to go with. And, the opals are still whole and show no signs of crazing.

Pave cut came in from the peanut gallery.

Hey, if you are interested in cast aluminum instead of platinum...

My nemisis is that barrel of molten aluminum being poured, guy chases me everywhere with it.
I'm starting to get Stockholm syndrome, I felt sorry for a robot with a leaky hydraulic arm.
It had a bandage on, and a blankie to keep the holding tank warm, poor robot.
{This one is feeling ok, temp is normal!)

@curious2garden, went to the weaving place again.
Warper , weaver, and calendar machine with the finished product.
Spools of thread feed the warper, then get moved to the weaving machines, then have backing material applied and smoothed by rollers, rolled for shipment.
