Beads and metal
One benefit of nlindq's adventures in health care last month was that I got to spend a lot of time on my own, which I stole to work on jewelry/jewellery for the Threeway Action auction. While he was drugged/napping/World of Warcrafting, I bent metal and threaded beads and knotted leather. It was pretty satisfying, but I wasn't as productive as I had hoped. I did end up with a number of things just for me, too. I shouldn't forget about that.
Regardless, there's some stuff up on the auction website (and I already have bids!) Go have a look!
It's been a very long while since I made anything, much less anything I like. I think my style has progressed, somewhat. Part of that is the inspiration I get from being a part of the wonderful elisem's Beads of the Month Club and getting nifty new beads every month as well as seeing her amazing works of art. *drool* I should photograph my Dragon's Hoard necklace, comprised of beads from the Dragon, Pearl, Pirate and Fire theme goodies. Rather fitting, what?
This month we're finally going to commit to a new arrangement in the home schedule. Since Nels often likes to sleep in later than I do, on Saturdays I'll get up and spend the morning in my studio. I won't have to wrangle cats and I won't be interrupted. In the past, spending time in the studio meant that Nels felt neglected/isolated because I needed to close the door to keep the cats from hassling me and my beads/stuff. This way, I get that time and no one's feelings are hurt. Except maybe Whisper and Boodle...
(p.s. Twizzler level dropping.)
