The last day was Cold Bezels and Hot Enamels with Mary Hettmansperger. Before you look at what I made in Mary's class, let me say that Mary is an EXCELLENT teacher. She showed and told us lots of tips and techniques. She was on her feet the entire class, checking in with everyone who needed help, answering questions, and looking around to see if anyone had a question or looked confused. So... the fact that I made a strange fugly thing in her class is no reflection on Mary. :) I was clearly trying techniques willy-nilly with no plan. Notice that I textured the bottom piece again
after lining up and punching the rivet holes. Not good. :)
