White night!

Tonight after class I decided to work with white sculpey first before any other color. Silly me always starts messing around with white sculpey after I've been using colors such as green, black or red. Or any color really. It is so hard sometimes to scrub every scrap of sculpey off of your fingers and hands, so when you start with another color especially white or yellow, you end up with streaks!

Soooo.........I used only white tonight and then a teeensy scrap of light pink. I made 3 white roses (and then threw one away. I made the petals to thin and I broke it on the way out of the oven. Whoops!), 2 white bows and a cute little bunny.

I was going to move onto another light color, but honestly I'm tuckered out. The bunny and the bows are in the oven now and when they come out I'm grabbing a book off the shelf and heading to bed. What book? Hard Times by Charles Dickens.

Hopefully I'll have more ring bases in tomorrow and these new lovelies along with the pearly green roses and bows from last night will go up on Storenvy. I'll also post some pictures here too. 'Night white sculpey!

Sculpey snakes!

Or are they?...



hahaha No this is the little square of glass I use when I'm making lil' baubles when I'm watching t.v. I don't get a lot of t.v. watchin' done though. My eyes are usually on the sculpey. Boo for no Glee tonight!

I'm off to get a little homework done!

The show is going to the flea market!

The boyfriend and I were at the Wagon Wheel flea market in Pinellas Park yesterday and I decided it's worth a try renting a space for a weekend. I've gotten lots of looks on Etsy and Storenvy but so far no takers. I think I might have a little luck at the flea market. It might even be a confidence booster.....or buster. I won't be going for another 2 weeks or so, but I'll blog about it later.

The macaw feathers came in yesterday morning. I got them cleaned up and went to work on them.

So far, my favorite is the little red one on the end. I'm not sure if I'm going to put any of these up in the shop yet. If anyone is interested in buying though, let me know. I think I'm going to focus on having pieces made for the flea market for now.

 

Hey! New rings up in the shop!

I put 8 rings up in the shop just now! Here are just a few. I also have a gold bow, a larger black bow and a heart listed. Clicking on any of the photos will take you right to the shop.

 

Better pictures from last night!

As promised, here are some better pictures of the earring and clip I made yesterday. Also, the ring bases came into! Some of them anyway, so check out my Storenvy shop for those a little later today. I'm going to make a few roses too. On to pictures!

(Definitely click and make these pictures biGGer!)

Peacock feathers and pink hair!

I finally got around to finishing the piece with the pink synthetic hair. I made it a clip instead of an earring because who really has hot pink hair coming from their ears? Right. I also got around to finishing the peacock earring I started last week too. I found some pheasant feathers today with pretty blues and greens in them. I'll post a bad picture of the hair clip tonight, but i will post better ones tomorrow when Ican take pictures of it in natural lighting. I'm posting pictures of the peacock earring tonight, but I'm taking different pictures of it to list on storenvy tomorrow. (You'll see why.)

As you can see, when I take pictures inside I don't have a lot of options to hand earrings from. I really don't want to post pictures like that in my shop. The blog is even pushing it! That is going to have to change. Why do I have a few empty beer bottles on the window sill in the kitchen? I like their labels! So be to check my shop tomorrow for these newest editions and look for me on Facebook!

Today's agenda! (and mail)

1. Check the mail

2. Organize the tables in the kitchen so I have homework and work space today. (we have 2, one for dinner, the other is small and round & functions as my desk. We chucked my desk when I moved in with Chris, no room!)

3. Halfway through organizing the tables run and check the mail if the box was empty the first time.

4. Homework first! I have a bit of Spanish to do and I have to revise my essay for Brit Lit then drive it downtown tomorrow and find my prof.'s office (again) and turn it in. I have some reading for my other Brit Lit class but since I'm a slacker I'll wait until the last minute.

5. Check the mail on the way out the door to Michael's. That is only if the box was empty the  first 2 times. I have to pick up black leather lacing for the peacock feathers I'll be using today.

**************going to check the mail***********************

(nothing yet!)

6. Start putting feathers together!

So, why check the mail so much? I'm expecting a few packages, even though they were shipped only yesterday. Somehow I think the more i check the box, the faster they'll get here. Shut up. I'm excited. hahaha

The first batch of ring bases I ordered are on a tug boat from China. Boooo So yesterday I found someone in the states selling them. They're a slightly different style but they will work just fine. They should be here tomorrow or Saturday. (I'll still check the box even after the mail has been delivered)

What do I do when there is no mail? I tell myself "no news is good news!) then I pout for a few minutes until something shiny catches my eye. Have fun today!
