Projects in Queue


I'm constantly seeing things that I like, but they are overly expensive, or really not worth what some people pay for them. Here are two great examples. These Lulu Frost number necklaces are made out of old hotel room door numbers and suspended from a jumble of odd chains with pearl accents. They go for hundreds of dollars.
For about a year now I have been looking for small 1 inch brass numbers so I can duplicate this great necklace. Every time I see numbers at a hardware store/dollar store I can only ever find larger ones. (which would work if I was going for the 70's pimp/Mr T look....)





This bracelet is a more recent find. I saw it in a magazine and realized it had all the components that I can find easily. This bracelet was very high-end (price). I like the little buddha charm with the little freshwater pearls, and the faceted round beads.


Tonight I will be done with my turtleneck and it will be on to the next project tomorrow. It will be the
Marsupial bag I think. That is something that I can devote a couple of days to and be done. Instant gratification....

Jerry has a dinner meeting tonight and the boy is off to work leaving me to fend for myself..
the weather was so spectacular here today. I will probably walk with harley in a little while.
