Time to Dig in the Dirt

Now that some work is out the door and pieces for my next show the New Jersey Metal Arts Guild "Perspectives : a Juried Member Exhibit" are older, nothing stands in the way of cleaning and organizing my studio after a whole summer away. The last time I set out to clean it, I cut the sponge up and now it is becoming a brooch! You can tell it was a used sponge. I heated it in water and baking soda in the microwave, then dunked it in water with a few drops of essential oil, now it smells really nice.
