Artsty Fartsy part 10!

The Photos:

1. Never let an opportunity to do something funky pass you by. One shown in pre-assembly so you get an idea of the process


2. You remember these feathers, right?


3. Well it’s time for them to join their gem stud pals. The glue was mostly dry and it was past time to transfer them


4. Of course, the blue and black pairs were still too tacky and needed more drying time


5. In anticipation of the last pair

I ended this session with a literal pain in the neck and I might not be doing any more tonight, but aah, what works of wonder…

The Photos!

1. Blurry, out-of-focus picture of my special non-slip nylon knot. You do your regular granny knot, and then you wind the short end around and through the loop a few times. When it pulls tight, it makes a kink that won’t undo.


2. Slide your bead on


3. Put your

I’ve been shopping! And scrabbling through both my culch and MeMum’s for little bits and bobs.

The Photos:

1. I’ve had these pearl teardrops since the 80’s, but hadn’t done anything with them because the one on the left had a blocked hole. We finally drilled that sucker and now it’s going to a good home!


2. Three baggies of found culch. One bunch of assorted gold beads

This will be my last photoset on the theme for a little while, but I am FAR from finished.

The Photos:

1. The mandatory plain pearls for impressing staid business types or pretending that one is an adult


2. Interesting chain clusters for punk days


3. Simple pendants for hypnotising the staid business types who weren’t impressed by the pearls


4. I realised I didn’t have a true black-and-white earring for the collection so I went and made

What a difference a night of sleep makes! I had ideas, but executing them kind-of failed a little bit…

The Photos:

1. I was ready to sign off on these as they were because it was late and I was tired and I was also about a million percent DONE


2. But in the morning, I realised they needed some fixing. Fortunately, more black beads and some pins fixed that


3. All I had to do was remove the pins

After I finished the silver tassels, I thought it was time to do some designing again, but as it was getting a little late, I think my efforts may be lacklustre. I don’t know.

The Photos:

1. The finished silver tassels in all their glory


2. A relatively simple build, I just took those three pin-beads off the necklace as they were


3. These ones requires a little more disassembly to reconfigure


4. And these chain links came off the

Whenever I do something ambitious like the wind chimes, I unwind by doing a bunch of simple transfers. It helps my morale immensely and increases the earring count.

The Photos:

1. The finished wind chime earring at long last. Those nicely-arranged chains took about five goes each to hang right.


2. The finished pair has symmetry because I find symmetry satisfying


3. Swapped pendant earrings are almost imperceptible from the originals


4. The process goes thus: pick your bits to match, where
