experimenting with necklaces

so i decided to try my hand at beading necklaces :) i honestly think i have much more fun with earrings (twirling wire, yay!) but it was still fun doing this! alas, i cannot get my pictures to show the true colors of the blue beads for the life of me ;_; i tried taking pictures outside, inside, in sunlight, blue light, yellow light, shade, during daytime, nighttime... argh! :( i am doomed. i have no idea why it shows up so light! ahh well... i included a link in the description that i found on google of a more accurately colored bead, which someone in the forums said would hurt me more than help but i think that i would rather let the customer see what it would really look like than get the necklace and be like "schwaaaa~t??" :P





i also decided to try making necklaces with the whole burning leather thing! custom initial leather necklaces, with practically all aspects made to your specifics! we'll see if anyone will want one of these :)

couple o' fun projects

i decided to try to play with leather last night, and here is the result of testing out all of the different points on my toy~
haha i know, it's just a mishmash of blah, but i had fun and that's all that matters XD

and today was my roomie alex and her twin sister's birthday, so i made them some earrings! the ear threader one is for alex because she thought the leaf earrings i just (half) made were cute and that they were cool because she had never seen ear threaders before :)
