Okay not quite the same, close??? Let's face it Lincoln's no NYC but for some reason there are plenty of guys willing to dress up as chicks here (Malcolm) and Linda Richman's style of interviewing is...well...let's just say she has a little more meshugenerness to her than Lance (meshugenerness is to a word, we just added some flare, don't believe us...well you can go a maidel mit a vayndel)...hopefully this interview is as entertaining...Okay maybe not as entertaining but regardless we hope that you tune in...hopefully all of Casey's verklempting was edited out (right Lance?!?)
Tonight on 10 11 News
6pm CST Lances Journal
For those without TV (like Casey) or that are not in Lincoln the interview will be added to 10 11's website tonight, Lance thought after 8pm CST....

Congrats to Mark Savory http://www.mod-spot.blogspot.com/ for his win at the Cycle-Cross World Champions...making the impossible possible...kickass..
Speaking of making the impossible possible...I stumbled upon this great video...it empowers the message that I've incorporated into not only my business but life...Ingrid Vendervelt is helping to empower women and the world...
Now a moment in Handcrafted time...today we are talking recycling metal...I save all my scrap metal to melt down and pour into new...
This is a long process and takes patients...
the first step is to melt the scrap in a crucible...
Pour into the ingut (mold) either for wire or sheet, we are making bars for cufflinks so will pour into wire section...
Now the fun begins...rolling the metal to a smaller gauge...
Since you have to anneal the metal (the metal work hardens as you roll it so you have to heat up the metal to soften it again so it won't break) after every few rolls this can take a while...
Finished cufflinks...
I would love to say that I create all my work with metal that I produce but I do what I can, all the cufflinks centers are always recycled metal...I buy stock sheet metal and wire from Rio Grande...these products are made in the USA...
My impossible that I'm gonna make possible...getting my jewelry and wearable art in the music scene...
Imagine it Lady Gaga wearing a Casey Sheppard Designs original..
I totally dig that impossible...Possible...
Tell next time...Imagine the impossible and make it possible...
Casey
From all of us at CSD have a great Valentines and spread the love...
....it's Wednesday night!!!
