That lion...

Wasn't planning on selling these 2 oz. lion medallions but ended up getting 11 orders so if anyone else is interested...for a limited time there is a buy now button for them on the home page of the blog.  93,98,75,0,B

Aunt Linda...

Ben had a visit from his aunt Linda today - on the sixth anniversary of their first meeting.  Ben may go to live on her ranch in Fredericksburg, TX in the fall.  She has 125 fenced acres of grass and trees and streams...and 3 young longhorn steers.  We are trying to work out the logistics of getting him there.  As much as I would like to keep him, his feed is just too expensive and I think he would have a much better life there with some buddies to hang out with and lots of room to roam.  93,99,69,T,B

tribulation-patience-experience-hope

Romans 5 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:  ² By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.  ³ And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;  ⁴ And patience, experience; and experience, hope:  ⁵ And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

perfecting the lion...

A busy Saturday.   Baked 2 batches of Field Lab Solar Oven Super Cookies this morning, some local friends stopped by for a visit to pick up 2 skulls they ordered (they got a free super cookie with their skulls), prepped a batch of Chupa Bread to bake tomorrow, and did 3 silver casting tests.  I have a pending order for six of these 2 oz. lion "coins" so I tried out the delft clay with the lion push mold today.  It works much better than the (cheaper) petrobond clay.  The mold holds great detail even after 1800° silver has been poured into it.  95,100,77,0,B
