Under the Sea

Believe it or not, I've gotten loads of compliments on this necklace and I don't even particularly like it. I have my reasons, both design and personal, but if others like it who am I to disassemble it?

Do others do that? If they don't like a necklace or bracelet they made, do they break it up and make a new one with the same pieces? I'm horrible at that. It'll be amazing if I can get everything put together for this show.
Short post, but I am going to work on some more pieces. I'm feeling slightly motivated and can't let that go to waste.

Down with Blue

I made another wired bracelet, this time with blue rocks and silver wire. The silver wire was much easier to bend, which caused many odd kinks, but worked out excellent in the end. The bracelet can easily fit any size wrist and conform to fit them snugly. Although the design isn't my favorite, the functionality of it is great! Also, I checked on the pricing for the renaissance faire and it's ALOT cheaper than I expected. That makes me happy. Now I just need to design my booth, my costume and a hell of alot more jewelery. I can't get the photos right. I need to figure out a quick and easy way to take photos. Right now my hat is covered in cat hair and it makes the pictures look weird. Plus the color is weird. And I hate taking shots of my hand. I should buy some bracelet and necklace stands. The cool ones they use in store, you know? Maybe that would make pictures easier.

Screen-printing

You know that funny inside joke you and your friend have? Or that super awesome logo you created for yourself? Or maybe you just have an awesome design that you have always wanted to put on a shirt but didn't know how? I got you covered. Today's post will be HOW TO SCREEN-PRINT!!! And you don't need one of those crazy expensive machines either. This is the cheapest, easiest way I've found to screen-print your own t-shirts, pants, backpacks, whatever! In order to do this, you need: A design Sewing Hoops Sheer curtains (you can get these at Walmart for wicked cheap) Vinyl -OR- a pencil and modge podge screen-printing paint. I use Yudu, you can get it at Joann fabrics or any craft store scissors SQUEEGEE!!! I love these things Newspaper/Scrap Paper And the object you wish to screen print upon OK! So first thing first, we need to make our screen. Cut out a piece of curtain that is larger than the area of your hoop. Then go ahead an put it in the hoop. You can cut off the e...

TERRIBLE NEWS EVERYONE!! They cancelled my craft fair! I'm so bummed. Now what am I going to do!?! This was my goal and now it's gone! *le sigh* Guess I'll just have to find another craft fair. This was a necklace I made awhile ago. I didn't have the heart to make anything yesterday or today, but I don't want to stop so I figured posting to the blog would help motivate me. This necklace was meant to be a semi-aviator tribute. Although the parts make it look steampunk, I was thinking more of Amelia Earhart while making it. It also made me realize I have access to materials that would be awesome in jewelry and I don't use them enough. It's made up of a watch face with the interior flipped, wing and nautical charms, chemetal and a penny. Anyway, without the craft fair I'm going to keep making things in hopes of finding a new one soon.
