Today was a great day! I did everything I love: I started this morning doing 60 laps in the pool at Valle Escondido followed by a 20-minute steam bath:
Love swimming in this beautiful pool. Tell me: is a lap from here to there, or is a lap from here to there AND back again?
After that, I headed over to my art studio in downtown Boquete where I was anxious to get going on a new project. I was able to set up a second work station at the other end of the room. It will serve as my "Jewelry'd Sculpture" work area, so I quickly transferred all supplies and tools from the first work station. THAT station will stay solely dedicated to encaustics.
So, here's a photo of the new work station with some of the jewelry supplies strewn about because I'm starting a new art piece:

Plus, I want to show off my newest "little friend", my new hammock! You can see it there in the background. Bought at a local garage sale for $4, I'm temporarily hanging it in my future sewing room. That room won't turn into anything for quite a few months, but there are already hammock embedded hooks into the corners of the room, so I've got me a nice little area to relax and create posts on this blog! Check it out!
The added bonus about today? The third thing I love to do besides working out and creating art in my studio is watching golf on TV (through my computer when I'm in the studio). Today was the final day of the PGA Championship, the last major of the year. I was pulling for my guy, Steve Stricker, and my new guy - Adam Scott - and neither of them did much. THEN, I was pulling for Brendan Steele because he's from Irvine, California, a community near and dear to my heart. But then he did nothing. So, I stopped rooting for anyone, because the minute I did they tanked. So I just enjoyed the shot making.
I don't know about you, but this is one of my ideas of a perfect day. (The other ideas involve kids and grandkids.)
In my next post, maybe tomorrow if I get the time, I will introduce you into what's going on in the foreground. You will be the first to preview my new trademark-pending "BLING BOWLS". I've got photos of "before" and "after", so you'll really get a sense of what they're about.
