Day 2 began with a trip to the Georgia O'Keeffe museum. I was aware of her flowers, but really hadn't seen her abstract paintings before. I love the way she used the color blue in her abstract paintings. Then I went and found a delicious lunch of dairy-free fish tacos and horchata (oh, how I love thee, horchata. Y U NO IN MY HOMETOWN HORCHATA???)...ahem.
Anyway, after lunch I took a class on sweat soldering. Sweat soldering is a technique for soldering two flat pieces of metal together. This is also how you set a bezel cup for a round cabochon stone. I hope to incorporate bezel cups and cabochons into my jewelry....just as soon as I buy *mumble mumble* dollars worth of equipment and supplies. In class, I made this slightly dorked copper and silver pendant with a lab-created ruby cabochon:
