Jewelry been on hold
So the jewelry making updates and pics have been on hold as I practice techniques. I've finally gotten good enough to order read beads and some expensive sterling silver wire. I'm going to make a couple of "Firefly" inspired pieces for those that might be cosplaying Inara, and then I'm going to move onto working on soldering and reworking found ( Read more... ) -
Practice, practice, practice!
I've been doing some wire work, and I've finally taken some pics of the progress I've made.
Here's some pieces I made a long time ago:

Jewelry designer -- Here I go!
I have been trying to come up with some way to be creative. I just need that outlet. The problem with that is I'm not very good at what interested me. I can't sew or draw, so creating costumes or designing wedding gowns is a no (and I'm addicted to wedding gowns). I have zero talent in decorating, and zero interest in doing it.

Writer's Block: In the Shoes of an Extravagant Restaurant Owner
I would make it all cozy, some parts looking like Grandma's kitchen, other parts looking like a cozy family room. I'd serve good, Southern comfort food like homemade mac n cheese, meatloaf, mashed taters, fried catfish...all the good stuff. Nothing fancy.

More costume whining
My first attempt at the bodice for the Nene Thomas costume didn't work, so I headed off to David's Bridal to get a bodice bra to try on that. If it works, I just hope I have someone to dress me when I wear it! The wings are going to be a little hard to do just right, but I should have enough time to experiment with them. If I can't get the ( Read more... ) -
