Creative License Saturday

I love Disney... and The Little Mermaid is by far my favorite of all the Disney Princesses. This song will for ever live in my heart and not just because my oldest niece (who was 3 at the time) insisted that I sing it to her for an entire road trip to Houston. I've always felt like a fish out of water, especially when I worked in an office. Once I left/quit (what ever you want to call it), it was like Ariel getting her legs.... there was no going back. My workspace feels a lot like her cavern does.... doodads and gadgets everywhere. So I decided to take a little creative license with this classic by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken that we all know as "Part of your world". I'd sing it for you... but I love you all too much to submit you to that.

Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?
Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many hand tools can one toolbox hold?
Looking around here you think
Sure, she's got everything
I've got cup-burrs and tweezers a-plenty
I've got cutters and hammers galore
You want pliers?
I've got twenty!

But who cares?
No big deal
I want mooooooore.....
I wanna work like a jeweler does...
I wanna work metals like gold and silver...
Burning my way through a - what do you call it?
(propane)Tank!

Flappin' your gums, you don't get too far
Skills are required for soldering, forging,
Hammering my way through a spool of - what's that word again?
Wire!!
Staying up late... working at my craft.
Up until the night meets up with daylight.
Carving and sawing - wish I could be....
A metalsmith.

What would I give if I could live out a studio?
What would I pay to spend a day.... at my bench?
Bet'cha out there, they understand
That this girl needs to work with metal..
.. just a beader... sick of stringing...
Ready to Repoussé!

And ready to know what Tim McCreight knows
Ask him my questions and get some answers
What's a fire and why does it - what's the word?
Burn?

When can I braze?
When can I fuse, planish and etch my little heart out?
Happy I'll be...
When I can use...
All of my toooooools!

And yes, as hubby says I have waaaay too much time on my hands. Lol!
