My creativity has jumped! Loving this. The NFL Theme is like a huge cup of creativity. First I have to share a culinary first for me. I. Made. Wings. Our local spot closed.... :(........so I decided to attempt my own. I used a recipe from Ina Garton, the Barefoot Contessa, on FootNetwork.
First some of these
and some of this
with these
gave us these!!!!!
Tastey!!!!!
Now, on to projects. First is this necklace. I have been playing with these floral components from Sleeping Dog Studio. Now, understand that I have to look at, hold, play with some things until they speak to me. Well, they finally did. I used some glass beads from Indian Creek Art Glass, some enameled headpins from Sue Beads, and some antiqued copper chain. I think it turned out really well. In fact, my daughter said that she may have to "borrow" it. :)
Oh, and there are a few great beads from Kelley! Thoughts?
Next, some earrings.
Hand wrapped with some great disc beads from HMB Studios.
These started as a bracelet from Forever 21. It was just too good and I had to take it apart.
Now, these are my fav! I love hammering silver! Gets that aggression out! 12 g silver pounded into sticks and 20 gauge hoops. I do love that rustic feel to hammered silver. But I do have a question - for all you metal workers out there - how do I buff them out? Is there a special tool? Do I get a Dremmel? I would love to know. I also love how they look on my daughter!
Today rocked! I mean, you know when you get into the groove, really into the groove? Well, I was there! :) In fact, probably TMI, I sat downstairs working, drinking water for almost 3.5 hours. Forgot to go, if you know what I mean........Love the groove! Felt really good.
I hope that you all had a good weekend.
Go Skins!!!!!
