My Muse is a Pain in the Neck

My muse is telling me I need to get out to the studio in the garage and do some work.  Abuse some metal, and maybe do some painting. 

Now, why does my muse wait until it's COLD and want to go out to the garage studio and work? But my muse is telling me I need to make earrings similar to these. 

Not only that, but silver is $23.85 an ounce!  I made these in a jewelry class I was taking a few years back.  Then silver was only $7.00 or so an ounce!

Maybe next week, I'll have hubby fire up the kerosene heater and I can get out there and saw and hammer and rivet some metal!
