Crimp beads are your friends!

Mar 25th, 2008 Posted in For Sale & Trade, my Arts & Crafts | 2 comments »

I made these last night. I was gonig to work on my mommy’s red necklace but I just looked at it and went BLAH! lol… besides, I’ve been wanting to try this idea for ages.

I’m calling them floater earrings for now, because of how the beads look all float-y… but it also reminds me of a shooting star. So… star floater earrings? :-p

I LOVE crimp beads! Okay, so I still break them occasionally but I’m getting the hang of it. I can’t wait to try a floater style necklace. Fire Mountain Gems calls it “intermittent stranding” or some poshy-tosh thing like that… if you go here you can see what I’m talking about. I like the way it looks. Not too crazy about that pendent, but the rest of it is cool.

So without further ado, clicky click the earrings below for a larger view:

And these are the ones for her that match the necklaces I made her (need to re photo them later):

Aaaaand, I thought I’d go ahead and upload pics of some earrings I made ages upon ages ago. I don’t particularly like most of them so I may just end up taking some of them apart and repurposing the beads/fixings:

*ETA* Oh yeah, apologies to all my blogging friends. I haven’t been visiting anyone lately because I just haven’t been in the right mind lately… its been a lot of hard work on my novel, jewelry for my mom and the stresses of working on teeth. Ask my poor roomie… I have NOT been with it! :-/

This post is for my mommy because she wanted to see what other earrings I have made. These are all new pics since getting around my camera problem! Yay!

This isn’t even everything I’ve made. Must do more photos.
And most of these are for sale.

Latest dental & latest jewelry & Kitty hurk painting

Mar 8th, 2008 Posted in For Sale & Trade, my Arts & Crafts | 2 comments »

Thursday’s dental dealy went fine and dandy. I did the oral sedation instead of the IV. It was a bit more uncomfortable for whatever reason. I believe they finished all my root canals except one tooth which would have taken about another hour and I think I was getting tired/restless.

Here’s a painting I think is done:

Meet Hurk the Kitty. He made a big mess >.<

Here’s my latest jewelry creations! Well, a couple of them have been sitting around awhile… I took ONE MORE stab at photographing my jeweled creations. I think I might have something passable to work with. None of these came out blurry! Click for pics… there’s 2 pics of almost everything, so its a lot to load… Read the rest of this entry »

It has been awhile since I made jewelry. I made up these bad boys on Sunday. I think this was my best batch yet. (wow, this is post #3 for today?)

Oh, yeah, the picture is HUGE. So beware.
