"Tonight, class, we are going to be making a TURTLE." This is Jennifer speaking. How the heck do you make a turtle in a metal class? Will it be some cute little silver turtle charm we hang from our charm bracelets? I know people who LOVE turtles, but I can't say I'm one of them. TERRIBLE memories involving a pet turtle and a couple of dogs getting loose in the house. Uh huh. You get the picture. Anyway....turns out, a turtle is a cool little think you cut out of metal to mount a stone in. You trace around the stone, the add 4 legs and a head. After you cut it out, file, sand, etc., the legs become the prongs around the stone, and you can drill a hole in the head, or bend it down, to hang your stone! Cool, huh? I'm liking this class. My mind is racing with ideas of all the things I can do with a turtle!
P.S. I got the soldering right. My bezel sample looks mahvalous, dahling.........
