So... I just finished up the new flakie pieces.

So... I just finished up the new flakie pieces. I thought I didn't like the softer colors, but I have completely changed my mind. They are PRETTY. 😳 I will post photos ASAP. Hopefully tomorrow, but it will most likely be Saturday. I'm excited!

Harley Update:

He's doing well. He went back to the vet today for another de-worming. He's FINALLY starting to gain a little weight. He finishes his shots in 3 weeks and still needs to be neutered. We're working on him. 🙂 

Thanks to the wonderful and amazing Shari for taking him in for me today. With my car acting up and me not needing to miss work that was a HUGE help. ❤

About to get off of here...

About to get off of here and try to finish up some of the billion things I've started.  I feel so crazy and like I can't even slow down.  😳

So... a few things about the jewelry.

I'm not usually one to toot my own horn, but I wore one of my flakie sets yesterday and today and those things are fucking pretty.  Unlike holographics they don't even need sunlight to sparkle and color-change.  You can be indoors and still see how pretty they are.  I'm still not a huge fan of wearing jewelry, but I figured if I won't wear it, how I can expect anyone else to?

More on the flakies.  I made stones with the newer generation of FingerPaints flakies and they are more pastel and less bright.  I'll try to get photos of the completed pieces in a few days, but I'm not sure if I like them as much as the first set.  I do have a blue / purple and a pink-ish one, though, which I had interest in.  I may need to invest in some more flakie polishes.  I know there are some super pretty ones out there - just not in my collection (YET!)  😃

I've been making so much stuff that I am running low on jewelry supplies.  I am planning to order more in a week or two.  I wish I could do it sooner, but school's about to start back, so I have to make sure Shadow is squared away first.  We still have to get school supplies (the 9th grade lists aren't at Wal-Mart like the rest), and he also needs a haircut and some clothes.  So that's my priority.

BUT WHEN I DO GET TO ORDER I am thinking that I might not go with leverback earrings this time, but rather get the settings and use earwires.  From work and from research titanium earwires seem to be the least irritating, so I think I might go with that.  They are hypoallergenic and have no coatings that can wear off like gold filled and silver plated or whatever.  Input and thoughts are welcome, as I'm really not much of a jewelry-wearer so I am kind of clueless.  I guess I could just get an assortment of wires, but it's just more to keep up with and think about.  I was hoping to keep things simple.

If all goes as planned when I get to order I will be getting pendants for necklaces as well as some bracelets, and even some clip-on button earrings, since I've had requests for those at the farmers markets.  Also, another benefit to doing earwires instead of leverbacks is that I can get those "pierced-look clip" things that let you have dangle earrings as clips.  If you don't know what I'm talking about I can post a photo.  We use those at work and they seem to be ok.

Anyway.  You all can tell where my brain has been.  Let me know if you have suggestions or whatever.  I'm just trying to get this all figured out.  Hoping to look like something special by the time OxfordFest rolls around.  😃

Just finished updating my Etsy...

Just finished updating my Etsy.  I told myself I'd go to bed at midnight no matter what, but I was so close to being done that I just went for finishing it anyway.  It's exhausting, though.  I'm sitting here feeling like a zombie I'm so sleepy.

I'm gonna check on the ani-pals and call it a night.

Might work on Etsy some more tomorrow.  I need to probably like... link up things that might go together or something.  I don't even know.  I think I can't think anymore.

Anyway, later peoples.  I'm beat.

I have like, almost 100 stuffs up now.  Because I've been a busy bee.

'Night.  ❤

I had to run to Munford to see my family and all that.

I had to run to Munford to see my family and all that.  I also promised Pomona some worms, so I stopped at PetSmart.  Now I'm home.  Gonna eat, work on my Etsy and some related projects, then if I have enough time - PAINT SOME MORE.  Maybe I truly shall POLISH ALL THE THINGS.  😃

I miss you, friends.  ❤

And finally, here are a couple of NOT flakie pieces I made...

And finally, here are a couple of NOT flakie pieces I made.  I did some orders and am working on some custom stuff, so I have been busy.  I do have quite a few more new things in progress, but got really excited about the flakies and totally went off on a thing.  LOL

This is the last set of flakies jewelry I made.

This is the last set of flakies jewelry I made.  It was done with Motley by Finger Paints.  It's blue / green and fabulous.  😳
