Back to your regularly scheduled shiny things...

This is actually from a few days ago. Some more blue coral and antique copper, since a lot of people (including me!) like it. Some epic bling on the right. And, yes, that's a pink and black bracelet that says <3. :D



This is from today. Because on top of printing and stuffing a game (Lifeline at Vestival! you should play!), running lots and lots of errands, doing costuming for multiple games, makeup testing, and various character prep, I also made jewelry. I'd actually made the coin earrings last night, so I made a necklace to match, and then I made something for my character in Oz. Kind of a spontaneous riff, but she's close to her mother and just moved away from home, so I liked the idea of her wearing a heart necklace her mother gave her. The purple (in real life, those obscenely glowing beads are rich purple) is the state color of her homeworld, and the little silver stars are because she's a space pilot.

I'm a dork.

I also made a matching earring, and that was an experiment...my wire-working skills are nonexistent, but I set out to make a wire ear cuff with a loop so I could hang a dangle from it. And it looks a bit lopsided, but it works. It holds, the coated copper wire I have on hand flexes nicely for putting it on and off, and the twisty stem before the loop actually rides right along the edge of my ear almost down to my lobe. It's kind of hard to describe. But it almost looks like I'm wearing a normal ear piercing, and it's a cuff, so it's super-comfy and awesome.

I love ear cuffs. I mentioned I was a dork, right?

Also, I should ask...
