Having one of those...

Having one of those "Took some Excedrin Migraine and hoping for the best" kind of days. Holy cow. 🙁

Yay! Harley cat is neutered.

SILCS Diaphragm Receives US Market Clearance

These are my first finished necklaces!

These are my first finished necklaces! Woo! I did a thing! 😃

From left to right we have a flame water marble, 2 rainbow water marbles, a silver holographic triangle, a green holographic oval, a black holographic triangle, and a silver holographic oval.

If you think the holographic pieces look pretty now - just wait until you see one in real sunlight. They have a much more pronounced rainbow effect IRL - quite beautiful. I will try to get better photos this week. 🙂

I am gonna have to charge $20 for these necklaces or $15 without the chain. The water marbled pieces are SO HARD and the holographic polishes are expensive, so I think that's just what I have to do. I don't actually have chains for the larger pendants yet, but I will come up with something.

I have all this new stuff I'm working on and I haven't even had a chance to get it put up on my Etsy or anything. Updating all of that is so time-consuming and I can't stop painting long enough to do anything. 😳

Anyway, I'm happy about these. I have many more stones I haven't set, but I'm waiting for more of my findings to come in. In the meantime I'm gonna keep on painting. LOL

I hope everyone is having a good night. I'm so exhausted that I'm about to crash. Gotta get all of my ani-pals tucked in, then I'm calling it a night. ❤

I know this isn't 20, but...

I know this isn't 20, but some of the ones I made were as close as I could get to repeats for someone, so I didn't bother posting them.

The only oval jewelry findings I have are frilly looking ring bases.  I think some of these won't go well with that, so I'm looking into get other bases and some necklace pendants.

If you see one you love - tag it to claim it and we'll figure out what jewelry to stick it in.  These are one of a kind, so if you really want it don't let it get away.

I've been away from the computer for most of the day...

I've been away from the computer for most of the day and I have 44 notifications.  HOLY COW.  I've gotta see what that's about.  LOL  I hope it's nothing bad.

I have felt like COMPLETE AND UTTER CRAP ALL DAY LONG.  Headache-y, nauseated, tired... just really not good, all around.  I had big plans to get some stuff done around the house, but I just wasn't up for doing anything that involved a whole lot of moving around.  🙁

The whole day wasn't a bust, though.  I water marbled 20 stones and painted a few more.  I must have been in the zone because I SUPER LIKE all but about 2 - and those two I'm just like, "They are ok."  They are drying now, but I will try to get photos soon.  Most of them are oval-shaped and I only have oval ring bases right now, but I'm thinking about ordering some oval necklace pendants, too.  I have all the other shapes, so why not?

Anyway, I hope everyone had a better weekend than I did.  For whatever reason, I spent most of mine feeling crappy.  Shadow seems to be getting a little sick, too, so that's no fun.  To make shit even more super great I have to be at the spay / neuter transport at 6 in the morning.  I am SO not a morning person, but I said I would help out, so I'll be there.  Unless I'm barfing.  All bets are off if I'm barfing.  LOL

I'm off to see what is going on in Internet land, then I'm heading to bed.  ❤

For a long time I never thought Beyonce would come around.

For a long time I never thought Beyonce would come around.  I assumed she would stay fraidy forever.  But the last couple of days... she's interested in us.  🙂  She'll sit about 4 feet away and watch me pet the other cats.  I always make sure to look at her and speak to her - which used to make her hide, but it doesn't now.  So that's awesome.

Also, I just walked by her to go to my bedroom.  She was close enough to my feet that I could have kicked her.  (Not that I would, but you know - she was THAT close.)  I stayed the course to my room and didn't stray.  I know that if I had made any move towards her she would have bolted.  But hopefully I can win her trust if I just keep... I don't know... not murdering her?  LOL  I'm not sure what she thinks we would do to her, but hopefully she's figuring out that she's safe here.  It's been about a year now!
