Some Snapshots

ok, I am bad at blogging. There I said it. But I am obsessed with Instagram and hipstamatic and I will say that even though I went to art school I never took a photo class and know absolutely nothing but I do like to pretend to be a professional photographer when I have my phone... So anywho, I thought I'd share some photos I've taken at my work bench.

I just recently ordered some prong settings to teach myself how to set. It was surprising easy.

My files <3 I think these are one of the few tools that I still use from my metals 1 class.

containers

My tank! My biggest investment

My holy bench pin.

More prong settings, a cute little ring that will have a garnet set into it.

I do have christmas ornaments up in my shop! I only have two right now but am in the process of making more. I'm still trying to think of what my black friday sale will be, whether it will be a % off, free ship OR maybe a free gift...hmmm...

A few new stitched items.

 A couple of new earrings I made, all available in my etsy shop.

menagerie

Since I was little I always collected little plastic animals amongst a lot of other little things. But I had these animals for a while and never knew what to do with them so I figured I'd make some jewelry!

duck pond ring

squirrel ring, size 7

poodle ring, nfs

Snail ring, nfs

Everything besides the duck pond ring are one of a kind pieces because I really have no idea where I got those animals. And the poodle ring and snail ring are not for sale because those are my two favorite, the poodle came from a polly pocket set and the snail was always on my dad's dresser and eventually he gave it to me. 

I set up a new section in my shop called menagerie where all of these little creatures are for sale. I can't wait until one of them are adopted!
