Ziggy Flower Power




Another bracelet I made last night =) This time I used 6lb test fishing line (instead of wire) and I LOVE IT!! The fishing line is so much easier to work with, I didnt have ANY breaks in the line. When I used wire it would get 'kinked' up and break sometimes =(
I think this is my favorite bracelet now!

Bead Weaving



This style is called "herringbone" or something like that. Its a bit more complicated than the style of weaving below, and it takes for FREAKING EVERRRRR to do compared to the style below.. but it looks good right? This particular bracelet is made for a little girl about 7 years old, so its not as big as my others. Made with 11/0 size seed beads, jewelry wire, and 1x round wirework bead for the flower



I actually LOVE these beads, and I love this bracelet in general. Its a fairly easy weave (takes about a little over an hour to make a full bracelet) and the beads just 'feel' good on the wrist. Im going to be wearing this particular bracelet for a loong time ^^ Made with 8/0 size seed beads and jewelry wire

Beads and Rings and Things..

So Ive started a new hobby, which is beading. Ive been into beading now and then since I was a kid.. though none of my 'jewelry' was very appreciated (or worn) ;(
Im hoping this time around I can make something 'wear-worthy'. This is just my first attempt in making something. I ordered some more materials like wire and better beads.. but for now this is all I can come up with
The ring is size 11, made with blue, white, and black seed beads. The 3 'pearls' in the middle are just some extra beads from a bracelet I had that broke a long time ago.
Once I get my new stuff Ill be sure to make MUCH better stuff than this =)

Double rainbow (all the way!)


In ode of the double rainbow guy on Youtube, I decided to paint my nails in rainbow fashion =) I know it looks kinda messy and my nails are shorter and I wish I had yellow nailpolish.. but they look decent I guess.

*sobs* what does it mean?!!?

It's too late for Valentines Day nails...



So I got a BUNCH of new nailpolishes from Ebay and omg I love them!! They're from a line called "Precious Metals" by Wet N' Wild. My favorites are the deep red (Graphite) and the silver color.
I have a 24k and Bronze color too from the same line.. but Im not too fond of the color gold.. Maybe next time ill try some design with a gold background just to switch things up =D

The camera doesnt really pick up the true sparkly-ness of the polish though!! :( It makes your nails look almost like theyre covered in foil with tiny sparkles and it looks GORGEOUS in real life, I swear!
