It's been about two weeks now and I'm back to this blog to tell you about the past events this week. During my educational journey throughout this week I have learned something new in each corner of this dark alley called the week of 5/11/14. One of the few things I have learned in the endless research for the “Xanadu” I call knowledge (Xanadu was a play from our school, Xanadu is the greatest gift from legend that takes no known form), is that to be able to bend certain metals you have to heat them up until they're a dull red and then dip them into an acid to soften up the metal for the ability to manipulate the form into the form of your own choosing. I experienced this first hand in my 3D art class I take in my local public high school. In this art class we learn how to make 3D pieces of art, while learned ways to make one form into a form that one could call art. At the moment however, we're taking metals and forming them into jewelry that we can wear. It was during this progress where I learned how this processed worked to be able to bend my piece of Nickel Sliver into the shape or curve of my wrist for the bracelet I am making. The project is still being worked on though hopefully be done soon.

          This was used in my art project to add the design I wanted by cutting the chain and soldering it onto the piece of nickel silver, other pieces were grinned in half to make that side of the chain flat. Putting them together on the band of metal will create a linked chain design. I got this at Home Depot, but you can get this at any store that sells hardware and home improvements. Well on my goal I've been slacking a bit due to track but, I have been writing faster and neater for my notes by practicing my writing at home. That's it for this post, maybe next week I'll get better at this.
