August!!!

I thought I would write a post about my plans for August. I can't believe that it is already the 6th! August is a big month for me this year. First of all, August 1 was my husband's birthday! He probably doesn't want me to tell everyone his age, but we had a nice birthday celebration. Yesterday I had a job interview! I think it went well, but won't know for a couple days if I got the job. It is very suspenseful! Right now I am working on a custom ring for my friend's mom! I am really excited about it. I posted the pictures of the wax model above. It will have an .51 ct Asher cut diamond in the center, 4 tsaverite garnets, and two trillion diamonds on the sides. The ring will be cast is 18ky gold. I am also preparing for a big road trip to Portland, Maine. I think it will be about a 26-30 hour drive depending on how much we stop to sight see. I am going there to attend a jewelry rendering workshop at Kate Wolf''s studio. The instructor will be Remy Rotenier. I am very excited for this wonderful opportunity. I love to draw,and have taken several drawing and art classes but never one specifically on jewelry rendering. I think it will be very helpful! I will definitely share what I learned after the workshop!
