It's that time of year again when CoMA would like your donated tools/gems/books/etc. for the silent auction.  This auction is truly the reason the Annual Conference is still affordable!  Your cast away items are solid gold to the organization and YOU get the tax write off!  It's a win-win!  Here are some of the items we've seen at auction:

 

Pin swap pins (if you are participating in the pin-swap, consider donating one to the silent auction too)

Wine, Rum, Bourbon, Mixers (we've even seen some clever labels and packaging) 

Jewelry: Rings, earrings, brooches, and bracelets, etc. (if you didn't know it yet, we love making AND buying jewelry)

Gemstones, beads, pearls, cabs, etc. What to you like to set in your work?

Patterned texture sheets, steel, or casting shot

Tools: Hammers, stakes, vices, anvils, crucibles, pliers, bending break, polishers, grinders, tumblers, all tools accepted.

Books: Jewelry books, art history books, books authored by COMA members, and manuals

Workshop essentials: Stools, Jewelry bench tops, tool caddies, flex shaft parts
