I had fully intended to make some new red jewelry, particularly heart-themed ones (and I may yet) but for the last two weeks I've spent all my freetime on art rather than jewelry design.
Valentine's Jewelry
Just an excuse for me to show off some of the red jewelry I've made! All of it is available in the Faerie Shoppe.

Today, a Journal [Fail]
I've always admired the bloggers, a la aspire, who post beautiful photos from their everyday lives. My brain is currently infected with said gorgeous photos, so I drug (dragged?) my camera around with me all day. What follows are the salvagable photos... my own little fail in photojournaling, saved by my own little skills in photoshop. Most of the photos (particular the ones that I was fond of) turned out unusable due to dark, dreary Feburary light.
Oh, yes, it was one of those kinds of days.
I'm going to spare you the other five photos of my schoolbooks; one is quite enough to give you the idea of what I did most of the day.
Schoolwork was punctuated by some bedroom cleaning and laundry sorting.
I did have time to put the finishing touches on the most difficult bit of coding I've done yet. Ink and Fairydust is all shiny and pretty now. So is my drawing tablet-- it's still shiny and new because I have not had much time to work with it. The learning curve is huge.
Did you know that it is impossible to break a peice of spaghetti into two peices?
I learned this on Numb3rs.
It is true.
Conditionally.
Dad was able to break a peice into two by pushing the ends together rather than pinching and pressing. I learned about moments and stress fractures and the way that compressing and stretching force goes in "waves" throughout a peice of spaghetti. It's really fascinating stuff and I will never look at a peice of spaghetti the same way again. I love my family. :)
I discovered that our wall clock is absolutely gorgeous.
I went out to practice unicycling for a bit, but it started to rain and I started to cough.
Then I kind of forgot to take any more photos.
Decorative Fan Pull {Tutorial}
Why doesn't love to add that little extra touch of sparkle to their room?
(Please tell me I'm not the only one).
A few months back, I made a decorative fan pull. It adds just a little sprinkle of beauty...
YOU WILL NEED-a fan with pulls (or an old fashioned lightbulb with a string pull)-pretty beads-wire-pliers-lobster claspscost: less than $5 for all new supplies, assuming you already have a fan
Start with boring old fan pulls (or outright missing fan pulls; one of mine broke off). Take them off.
Make a string of beads. If you want, you can literally use string. I made my strand of beads using a very simple wirewrapping technique.
One end of the strand should have a lobster clasp; the other should have about two inches of loose string attached to it.
Wrap that loose wire around the top part of the fan pull (the part that doesn't come out when you take the old pull off).
Use the lobster clasps to hang your favorite doodads!
Since I am big on making my room look Elvish, I hung my plastic Evenstar necklace on it. Now that I make my own jewelry I rarely wear it, but it is too geeky cool to leave inside a jewelry box.
Go crazy-- you can hang anything on these pulls! Necklace pendants, beads, gears, random objects...
