you can see the rest in my craftster posts :D

and back to the resin.........
i decided on playing with resin because i wanted a way of keeping my twilight conversation hearts that i received in the twilight rnd 7 swap on craftster from the awesome suzief00 :D it was the only way i could think of preserving them, and people have embeded them in resin with no problem before so i thought maybe i can do it and do it well... lol we will see 6pm tommorow night lol. i also embedded some skull candies and heart cake decos and added gitter to the final layer. i hope it all works out, i still have alot of convo hearts left if it didnt, so fingers crossed!

where i want to be for my first selling attempt...........

2009-06-02T19:16:00.001+10:00

i was sitting around last night thinking about how many items i want ready before i sell, i was thinking maybe 25 necklaces and 30 pairs of earrings, and 10 - 15 bib and burp cloth sets, so that gives me quite a few things to work on. i am currently working on business cards, packaging and small promotional items and helping a friend out with hers as well.

My first post - popping my blogs cherry

This blog is about me and my crafting adventures. i will soon be trying out selling my wares at a market stall with a friend. this site will contain pictures of the things i make and the occasional tutorial. this blog will also contain other arty adventures such as photography, sewing and cooking.

I love making jewelery and have been doing so for around two months, i love making it so much i now have a permanently calloused finger which is always getting caught in the pliers lol.

i love using all sorts of mediums from crystals to plastic, enameled beads and semi precious stones. i love most any kind of jewelery but i mostly make only sterling silver. i make alot of earrings yet i cannot wear them because i have 16mm tunnels in both ears. i love rosary beads and try to make as many as i can but they are time consuming and quite expensive.

my jewelery style is quite diverse, from skulls to sea shells to twilight themed pieces. i love lockets and cameos, and picture frame jewelery.

im beginning to delve into wire wrapping, but i seem to just stab myself and bleed on my craft table when i do, most of my pieces are OAK (one of a kind) and will not be remade unless someone begs me.

i will also be delving into making matching jewelery sets and pasties set.

thanks for reading and i look forward to all comment and criticism along the way.

love Ruby Blue
