With the naked eye

       Metal clay is more porous than sterling silver.  I know that but to my naked eye it doesn't look very porous.  Even as I work with a visor to magnify what I am working on, it doesn't look very porous.  But just wait until it is photographed and then my word, there is no denying it.  METAL CLAY IS LESS DENSE!  

        I've been long over due for my eye appointment.  I finally went to the eye doctor last Friday and found out that my eye sight has changed dramatically.  No wonder I couldn't see how porous my work is.  My new glasses are in and I can't wait to pick them up tomorrow.  Hope I look okay in them.  She kept asking me what I thought every time I tried on a pair; but I couldn't see how I looked in them.  So here's hoping for the best.  What I do know is that it will be nice to be able to see again.... I think.  (It will probably make more work for me now that I can see the flaws I couldn't see before.)
