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.

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 »

Look look! Guess who loves me?

My mommy!

We were talking on the phone yesterday (Wednesday) whilst she was poking about Micheal’s. We agreed an her sending me some stuff to make her stuff and I’d keep the rest and she wanted to see me making stuff with good quality stuff.

So, much to my surprise, this is what was waiting for me TODAY!

(its a HUGE pic)

Basically, she got everything I would have got if I had had the money :-p she even got me a new tool set (old set was rusty) and A CRIMP TOOL! I’ve been wanting one of those for ages. And TONS of crimp beads.

Something a bit annoying though: Apparently there’s different sized crimping tools for the different sized crimp beads! WTF. This is fine as I have the bigger tool to use the bigger beads which will be perfect for necklaces, which was what we were planning on. I was thinking the little ones would be -perfect- for some neat earring designs. So theres 2 sizes, small and medium, for the other crimps. I’m not in a hurry for them though :)

Oh, and you wanna know HOW I found this out? Yeah, it was all on the INSIDE of the packaging for the crimp beads. NOT the outside. >.< Ah well :)

So, I’m going to make her some things, and get to play with what’s left over. W00t.

I even have a few pairs of those threader style earrings to play with. I’ve been curious about those.

I’m SO excited about making some more jewelry… she got me TONS of that chain that I like using that I haven’t seen for… many many months.

Other than that, I received the homemade paper I won in the OHOW thing!! I really can’t decide what I want to do with it… I’m sure I’ll figure it out. It’s lovely stuff. I’ll have to take a pic of it later.

Man… see, this is what happens when I get rid of a bunch of stuff… and have good people in my life.

One other thing about today… Whitepaws finished fixing my bike, so we took a short ride down to the store. It was a lovely day. On the way back we ran across some tools on the side of the road. looked like somebody’s tool box fell off the vehicle and it just spewed all over. So we packed it up and we’re going to poke around to find out whose missing their tools.

As for my writing… I finally got rid of GEO! Oy vey… I’m so glad he’s out of the way. He was just… in the way. Not needed. He’s been there from the start and fun to make fun of… but not needed.

*ETA*

Look what I got Saturday! lol
