Now 3.20

I have to projects going on at the same time. I could make it three, but I'd like to get a little further along in one first. They're both jewelry so it's good. One's a duplicate necklace...I think. The other is a bracelet. I want it to be a necklace, but I think if I make a bracelet first I can get a feel for what I'm trying to do. I can't sketch it because it's rather chaotic. It could look really nice, or really amateurish. I'll have to see...if I ever stop undoing it.

Post Picture: My arm. The self-portrait I like best from today. I've taken (in more than one sense) to wearing a bracelet that was once my mom's. Her college boyfriend gave it to her, like when she was in college. I just think it's cool. It looks like a bent nail. Tinted and stuff in PSE. Flickr link.

Current

I'm destashing. That's an Etsy term for selling supplies even if you're not strictly a supplies shop. It was unintentional. I was cleaning up my room where my supplies are stored. Sometimes I couldn't help but smile, remembering the projects that some of the things were intended for. Some finished, some never started. Others I just way over-bought with no desire to make any more of whatever it was...as is the case with those bells. I made stockings out of felt as part of my Christmas gifts to some family members a few years ago. The cat sat on the leftover felt, ruining it with her super-shedding self. So I have bells and faux fur left. Not sure if I'll list the fur.

It's rainy here. Cold and rainy. If I ever complain about the heat this summer, just point me back here. Goodness, I'm so over cold. *sigh*

:)

Notes

Goodness, where has my writerly inspiration gone? I can think of nothing to say, rather can only report, that I listed today, relisted and listed. Quite pleasing.

I'm really liking my Box Top Photography pics. I took some more pics of supplies. I'm liking how I can play with that surface, move it around, walk around it, more easily than I can a table or some such thing. It's more portable, I can take it to where the light is best. Unfortunately, it only works for small items. I have a lot of those, but I like to use colorful backgrounds, especially for the magnets.

As for my personal challenge to complete an item everyday, I'm faltering, though today is not over yet. Last week yielded 4 pairs of earrings. (only one is listed, the rest need posts) So far, nothing this week. But I did photograph supplies that I'd been putting off for a while.

Post Picture: It's a pretty little setup in sepia (thanks to Photoshop) of a gift box with this magnet in it. I seriously adore the picture. If/when I get my own off-Etsy website, this will be on it somewhere.

Sunday

Found that today on Youtube. I was gonna post a video today, because I don't really have anything interesting to say. This one fits better than the others I was considering. It's crafty and environmentally friendly. heh

Enjoy!

Box Top Photography

I'm usually unsure exactly where to take pictures of my items that will yield a decent pic or four. (hehe) I started using the top of a box I had. I like the results. The following pictures are all clickable.
