Week 12

I just finished my last exam works yesterday. I made a new signet ring because the original one was a bit bad when I tried to fix some stuffs but it got worse instead.
I didn't find my half round ring so I decided to make a new one earlier this week, it feels quite good because I'm happy with the result.
Probably getting the results at the end of next week.

Two new courses starting next week, some kind of economy and gemology course.
I still have the stone grinding course left, so I gotta finish it off as soon as possible.
Otherwise I'm little bit tired of being here. Don't misunderstand me because I'm happy here but I kind of miss being in town, where I can choose to do stuffs around more.
Like being with more people, meet more people. My classmates are nice but you know, you sometimes just want to be with other.
It seems like I want to be with some people more than they want to be with me. It feels like some kind of unfair connection, when they can do whatever they want but when I do the same I get shit for it. It's sometimes like that, but I'm little tired of it.

Somehow, I have decided to move to a smaller house with two rooms, a shared kitchen/living room and toilet with a classmate. It's cheaper and you can have the distance to people and when you want to be with them you can just go back to the bigger house living room or invite them to you.

Today we had a snow scooter outing with a lot of people from the village invited, we drove like 15min away to a lake and grilled hot dogs, burgers and other stuff.
It's really nice with such happenings instead of sitting in the room doing nothing, the weather was clear and we had a really good time :)

Lost Prophets - Sway

I used to listen to them long time ago, somehow I forgot about them and randomly found them today.

Linkin Park - Numb

Mastodon - Just Got Paid

Evanescence - Sick

Almadine Rose

I forgot to post about my newest creation. I don't know what to call it so I just call it Almadine because of the stone plus rose because it's a rose. Almadine Rose sounds quite ok.

It's my last work, I just have to finish my signet ring and.. I lost my half round ring, so I have to find it or make a new one T_T

Evanescence - Erase This

Forgive me for poor video but I couldn't find any better video on youtube :/
But it's great song! :D

Evanescence - Lithium

Week 10 Part 2: Weekend

I went to dinner with some class mates at another class mate house. We splitted up the making so one made the meat, two made the potatoes and I made the dessert.
The dessert I made was blueberry swiss (I think it's called so) which is crème fraiche, cream, chocolate and blueberry that you put in random layers.
The dinner was pretty nice, five people eating and talking about anything. We also drank red wine during the meal.
We went to the house to prepare the food around 17:45 and it took longer to get done than I thought.

We started to watch swedish eurovision after we were done, we started to eat the dessert about half way into the contest because we were so full. The right winner won which is Loreen with her song "Euphoria", I was a little bit scared when Danny was so close before the final scores was announced. Not only because I don't like him but his song wasn't better than Loreens.

After the song contest I went back to our house with a class mate to leave some stuffs and take some other stuffs. We loaned "Jurassic Park" from another class mate so we could watch it at our friend house which we did.
But as soon as we started we got company from a class mate boyfriend and other class mates, so we watched movie and talked, the sofa got kinda full XD

Evanescence - My Heart Is Broken

Week 10 Part 1: Aventurine complete

My aventurine necklace is finally completed, it took my around one week of work to get that done. I modified a little bit here and there, so it's a bit different from the original sketch. But I believe every change have been good.
I think the leaf was too big for that design so I decided to use it later for another jewelry instead. The necklace itself gave me
a light look which I wanted to, therefor I changed to a smaller leaf with a style like those 2 ones on each side of the top.
The settings really messed with me, they just didn't wanted to work, so I will need to fix them to make them 100% but the stones are there..

So now.. I will start with my last exam jewelry, which I started to make a flower (looks like a rose) with couple of smaller parts I will solder. Afterward a tube setting will be placed in middle with a garnet.

I don't know if it gonna be a necklace, pendant or ring yet.

Another thing, I don't have a name for my aventurine necklace yet, any ideas?

Lisa Miskovsky - Call Me Anything But My Name

Incubus - Adolescents

Paramore - Monster

Another "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" soundtrack :)

Week 9 Part 2: Workshop

I have been at the metal workshop from wednesday to friday from 8-17. This week made me feel like I'm very slow at working, it feels like I get nothing done although I'm working nonstop.
I haven't really continued my signet ring, I choosed to make a small signet and seems like it's harder to make plain than a big signet. Because the corners is so easily touched and pushed, then it goes down a little at the corner..

I liked my last cabochon work "Forestwalk at night" but I don't feel like it's even close to my current potential so I decided to make a new cabochon exam jewelry.
It's a necklace with 6 settings with 3 different sizes of aventurine. I like the forest, it gives me so much inspiration so I'm starting with some jewelry with that concept.

My last exam work for this metal course will be a jewelry with self chosen amount of tube settings (rörinfattning), I was thinking about making a St Bernards Lily or Calla Lily. Let's see how that turns out.

Week 9 Part 1: Theory at LTU

My class had lab lesson in metalworking at Luleå University of Technology. It's about 4-5 hours by car and the lesson started about 13.00 on monday, so we were on our way to Luleå at 07:00.
The car I went with wanted to go off a little bit earlier so we could eat lunch calmly, and maybe do something else. The lesson was from 13.00 to 18.00, those who was going to stay at hostel over the night hooked up. We went to the hostel afterward to put our stuffs there and went to later to a thai restaurant for dinner.
It was a really nice group, really enjoyable dinner.

We started 08:00 next day and ended about 14.00. The lessons we had these two days was really interesting, we saw by eye and microscope, we also saw real laser printing and sawing.
After that those who wanted went to a shop who sell everthing but the owner was a stone collector once and still had a lot of stones/gems for sell. I bought a couple a agate and moss agate (I love agate), blood stones and a rutile quartz.

Came home about 19.00, these two days was really tiring. Sweetly enough we only have these days once or twice a season..
