For Katie and Keri.

At the market.

At the market. Forgot half my stuff. Not a morning person. Shaun to the rescue.

Gonna be at the Anniston Downtown Market tomorrow morning...

Gonna be at the Anniston Downtown Market tomorrow morning - bright and early (from 8 - noon).  I couldn't set ALL of the new stones I've made, but I'll have a few new things with me.  Come and see me if you're out and about!

Water Marbled stones I didn't get to post this morning.

Water Marbled stones I didn't get to post this morning.

If you want it, tag it to claim it and let me know what kind of jewelry you want it in. These are one of a kind. My friends get first choice. 🙂 Otherwise, I'll set them how I fancy and sell them where ever I can.

Those top two that are lonesome... I'm thinking I'll wipe those off and start over. I'm not a huge fan. I liked the black and white at first, but the light pink shimmer almost makes it look dingy. 🙁 I think the very top flame is also too dark. Let me know what you think, and be honest. I'm extremely critical of myself and my work, so you'll probably be a lot nicer to me than I would. That is for real. LOL

So tired. Heading to bed.

So tired.  Heading to bed.

I have water marbled 12 more stones.  I even have some rainbows!  There are a couple that I am VERY happy with.  😃  I will try to get a photo up in the morning.  They are all drying tonight, so I can't flip them over just yet.

I tried to marble another gray for you, Keri.  It's close, but definitely not the same.  If you don't like it, no worries.  But if you do, you got dibs.  🙂  I'll tag you to make sure you see it.  🙂

I am so freakin' excited for my jewelry parts to come in.  Y'all have no idea - I've got probably close to 150 stones painted and ready to be set.  That will more than double the amount of stuff I have to list on my stores and take to the markets.  😃  And there are some things that I'm really excited about.

Anyway, I guess I am done rambling.  It's wayyy late and I have to work in the morning.  I am so ready for a long weekend!

So glad I bought Ramen Noodles last night.

So glad I bought Ramen Noodles last night.  I just ate some Tums and Ramen (not mixed together!  LOL), and I feel less wobblefloppy in my guts.

Heading to work, y'all.  Still dealing with a slight headache, but I think I can be functional.

On a brighter note... Shaun's birthday present was delivered a few minutes ago.  😃😃😃

I feel like complete and utter crap this morning.

I feel like complete and utter crap this morning. My stomach is blegh and my head hurts. I took some Ibuprofen and am trying to get myself together so I can go to work.

Since I am just sitting here trying to figure out what my whole self is doing I thought I'd share a photo with you. These exist because of Keri. I'd considered water marbling stones before, but I was like, "Nah, it's hard, and a lot of trial and error, and you can't really duplicate them easily..." Like, I had a whole list of reasons why I would never do this. LOL But Keri said that they would be pretty, so I guess that trumped all of my negatives. Haha.

This is two evenings worth of work. These are a bit time-consuming, so I'll have to charge a little more for whatever they are used in, but I think that's ok.

These are all one of a kind. I think that all of my water marbles might be. Two of them are spoken for so if you see something you like - speak now or forever hold your peace. If you want to tag yourself on one you want that would be awesome. (I am not entirely sure you can do that... but I hope you can. LOL If not, just leave me a comment. First come, first served. I don't know a better way to do that.) I think that next time I will line them up in rows. 😳

These stones are 18mm, so they are good for a large ring or small necklace pendant. I have the pretty filigree ring bands in silver and brass right now, but in another 2 weeks or so I should also have them in black and copper. I have no necklace things yet, but soon, and they will be available in silver, brass, copper, and black, as well.

For the rings, I was going to charge $15 for these. My friends can get them for $10, though, because I hate taking your money. LOL If you need to reserve one for a necklace I have NO CLUE what I would charge for that yet, but I'm sure it wouldn't be a ton.

Anyway, let me know what you think. I am pretty happy with them, but if they aren't a hit I can just clean these cabs off and use them for something else.
