100 degrees again today. I am recovering from the cataract surgery. My eyelid is twitching, a strained muscle they say and it will go away. But in the meantime it is kind of like a strobe light effect. My brain has not wrapped itself around the changes in my eye, so I am kind of dizzy and nauseous. But I am told it will all resolve. My eye was 20/400 before surgery and is now 20/60 and will get better.
Sunset over the La Quinta we stayed in Weds night. Driving through downtown Denver the next day on the way home.
The three bears still need some more work, then they will be slumped into the bear bowl mold. Home made tamales I made for dinner tonight. Really good.
I shaped and polished the edges of the two bears today on my flat lap. Did most of it with the 12 inch flat discs I have magnetic discs from 100 grit diamond down to the felt you see here for the final polish. It is water fed from the center. I finished the inside curved part of the neck with my new cone set. It is also water fed and I have 5 different grits. I got a cone and dome set at the glass expo this spring. First time I have used them. I love all my fun equipment in my glass studio. I only get to visit with it a couple month out of the year.
Sunset the last two nights.
A closer up of last nights. I cut up a piece I made at the expo and made these pendants.
My garden is amazing. I planted it the end of June and it has about tripled in height and both tomatoes have blooms and the cherry on the right has lots of green tomatoes and one red one. The cherry was big when I bought it. Two of the basils we were growing in pots on the bus. They were in pretty sad shape when I planted them outside, but they have recovered. The scrawny marigold is the only thing not doing that well. Sunset night dancing across the sky.
My cones and domes grinding heads for my flat lap grinder. They are water fed in the center. I took these photos to send to the company and ask which one has the coarsest grit. It is easier to tell in these photos, but still sending it. They didn't label them. The diamonds are really sparkly in the sunlight. This tiny bunny hopped out of my tomatoes and basil.
John had his last medical procedure for this trip, a coloscopy. Her he is in recovery at Rock Creek Medical Center in Lafayette. Lilies I planted years ago are blooming.
Sunset last night. The bears are finally done. They are 9 x 7 x 1 3/8 inches. These are pictured in the sun.
These guys are pictured in the shade. I am starting another river piece.
