"bear shaped hole in my heart"

At intern today I put together a number of necklaces and also got to melt some metal. I loved how the flux became a glassy surface over the metal when I heated it. I also think the spontaneous appearance of blue and green is wondrous.

I also picked my bear up from the silver people. I'm making this bear for a friend. I think it's going to be hard to give it away especially after all the time that's gone into it. I feel like i've already grown quite attached to it. Vic and I were talking about how it's so difficult to give away the first edition of something. She told me that I will forever have a "bear shaped hole in my heart". I HOPE THAT ISN'T TRUE. Oh bear, oh bear! I will miss you.

It's already friends with my cat fox.
