New Blue Earrings

Well looks like this week I've been over productive, probably because i'm going crazy having nothing to do. I made another set of new earrings Blue if you didn't figure that out from the heading lol... Blue Roses they are complete ly hand crafted molded each on of those little petals myself, little buggers got all over my table too, but the final product was well worth the mess.

These earrings will be posted on etsy soon after they finish drying and i can put the backings on the and take more pictures untill then enjoy

oh and PS they look glossy because they are right out of the ice bath.

Mishaps and New Earrings

Today i am in the process of making a new set of rose earrings, white ones to be exact, I have managed to keep the mess to a minimum but some how miss haps keep happening so an hour long task has ended up being an all day event.

First I will begin by explaining how we have a house guest (dad's friend), who for some reason feels the need to wake up at the ass crack of the morning (excuse my french) and wake everyone else up, aka me ... uughh!!!! ... I'm not a morning person, so after laying in bed with the pup for a while longer and trying to fade out his loud mouth I decided to make the most of being up and make some new earrings. yeah productivity

But that didn't happen i had to fix our beloved house guests woopsy. Some how with out going to any progress you can actually change your screen so it is vertical which i didnt know until i had to fix it. And since it was my mothers new computer he had do this to I had the task of fixing before she found out. Which after an hour or to figured out with the help of a pc blog all you need to do is press ctl + alt + up arrow and it goes back into position.

Well that's finished right I can get back to work, kinda, so i make the mold of the earring and have the earrings formed and decided hey this is an good thing to tweet/blog about. Oh and even more "convenient" i can do it all through my phone. "convenient"= 1hr long struggle to get tweeter to work on my phone camera setting to work with tweeter then 5 posts that make no sense bc someone didn't prof read again before eash time needless to say spell check and t9 do not help when you know what you want to right and #etsy comes out betsy and art it set ... no clue how my phone comes up with this stuff. But now i have figures out what to do and can finally post what i have been trying to all day. That's if i can figure out my the heading is now in hindi ugghhh
