skillz.

First things first… Congrats Canada! Though, not a huge hockey fan, I still root for my homeland and Canada pulled through with the gold in hockey and lots of other great things at the Vancouver Olympics. Turns out, Canada has got skillz (as does America, and heaps of other nations).

Anyhow, it has been a while since the last post and that is again due to busy-ness… But here’s a wee bit of what I’ve been up to, other than being really good at playing. As a result of recently acquiring a DSLR camera, I’m learning new tricks and how to use it better. Any photo tips you have would be welcome… But here’s a few shots while playing around Salt Lake one evening with a friend. They’re a bit rubbish, but I had fun nonetheless.

Also, I’m a sucker for learning how to create and make things, hence why I’m a designer… So, it was time to tackle metal work (at least a bit of it), so I signed up for a community education silversmithing class with a friend. It’s pretty awesome, love it, in fact. So here is what I made for our first project (I have a great colleague who took the photos to “document” my work), and hopefully I’ll be able to crank out a few more things. Who knew playing with silver, turquoise, and a torch could be so much fun?

And that’s all for now. I’ll toss up the finished products of the next projects when they get done… And more photos after I learn more.
