July’s Metalsmithing Challenge
July’s Metalsmithing Challenge was all about the trinket dish. A small object with endless possibilities for shape, texture, pattern, and personality.
Summer schedules had other ideas, though. Only two members made it across the finish line this month, and that’s okay. These challenges were never meant to become another obligation on the list. Sometimes we have the time and inspiration to jump in, and sometimes life is simply too full.
Here’s to making when we can and giving ourselves permission to skip a month when we can’t.
