Etsy Outtakes

I made a dinosaur necklace.

I don't think this shot's going to work.

The Madame Telling Time

After a two-minute tutorial on crimping in the middle of a bead shop, I decided I was a jewelrymaker. One word from now on.

The thing holding my pieces afloat is my imagination. There's a lobster clasp but you know what I'm saying. The stainless steel wire I use can hold up to ten pounds, which is knowledge I maybe never should have been privy to, because I'm challenging it.

I've been using a ruler on the internet to measure the wire for my jewelry; for the time being I have misplaced my tape measurer.

This is The Madame Telling Time.

She is a flower with a nest of pearls, green-gold leaves, one snail,

and I made her string so, so, so short. I had intended to make a choker with some left-over materials, and then I found this watch... It looks good attached to the flower, which was originally attached to this dreamcatcher that I had no inspiration to finish.

I'll be restringing her, because this is just ridiculous:

My tendons strrraaain against the bone-like white. Looks painful.

Jewels and jiches

I made two bracelets today. I plan to have my Etsy shop up and running soon. I just have to find a bunch of bracelets I've misplaced.

BATPEARL.

The stuff of my gothic dreams. Blood-red rose bead with deep textures, and black icicle beads. I may or may not be attaching one last object to the rose.

LADY ANA LEAF.

Brass leaf charm, lady bug attached to a turquoise bead, cork pieces. I made this for a friend of a friend's birthday, but I don't know much about her other than "the color blue is good."
