Comment by Linda Lankford on November 4, 2009 at 8:05pm: Sure, I will bring it.

Comment by Deborrah Daher on November 4, 2009 at 9:57am: Sounds good - any chance I can take a quick look at your copy at our next meeting?

Comment by Linda Lankford on November 3, 2009 at 7:15pm: Oh Baby! I just received my copy of Chasing and Repousse - Methods Ancient and Modern by Nancy Megan Corwin. It will be the 'Go To' book for technique and a must have for your shop. Nope, I don't know Nancy, nor do I have an affiliation with the publishing company, I just think this is a super book.

Comment by Linda Lankford on November 1, 2009 at 7:09pm: Get ready for great workshops sponsored by SMM in 2010. Members have been surveyed and the results are in. Once we make arrangements with the selected instructors, we will make the announcements. It will be a great year!

Comment by Linda Lankford on November 1, 2009 at 2:00pm: Just when you think there is nothing new in metalsmithing - take look at the series by Lynette Andreasen. Scroll down the left side of the main page of Crafthaus and click. Be sure to take alook at all of the images, very original and appealing. My favorite id Lock for Lost Love.

Comment by Linda Lankford on November 1, 2009 at 1:56pm: SMM member Aimee Domash has added a video, on Crafthaus, of her husband Ken's soon to be released recording, "Countrified" Take a listen, it's really good.

Comment by Linda Lankford on September 21, 2009 at 10:32pm: Still working on getting all of the images of the member show loaded onto the SMM group site. This has been a real learning experience. I still have the photos too large, but once I get them all, I will work on the proper sizing. Some of these little puppies come to me with 2-3000 pixels, way to big! I have been resizing to 600 pixels, but 3-400 would be adequate.
