TAD - Day 19 and Day 20: more earrings
I'm unlikely to be able to make anything for tomorrow - it's Dentist Day again - so I've made two Things today, to sort of make up for it.
Two pairs of copper earrings, one with square larvikite beads (and tiny little onyx rounds) and one with sardonyx beads.
TAD - Day 17: Copper and amazonite earrings
Another bit of a lazy Thing today, since I'm trying to get this dragonscale bracelet finished, though I did get a whole load of ear wires done, too, like the one in these earrings. Anyway, today's Thing: a pair of amazonite and copper wire-wrap earrings.
TAD - Day 14: copper and sodalite earrings. And a Valentine's Day card.
Yesterday and Friday I failed to make anything. To make up for it, I've made two Things already today! They are another pair of copper and sodalite earrings and, because I'm just that good at pre-planning and things, a Valentine's Day card for my poor, long-suffering boyfriend. He liked it, I think, so my total lack of both organisational and artistic ability doesn't seem to be an issue... ;-)
thing a day 8
back to jewelry.
a pair of earrings in copper .added beads of white jade and turquoise.
and a bit of assymetry :)
ta daaa!
TAD - Day 6: A copper wire-wrapped bracelet
(For some reason, I can't send email. Hopefully this will fix itself soon.)
If you're paying attention, you may notice there was no day 5 Thing. This is true - I was in the UK having my teeth fixed, and wasn't able to make a Thing yesterday. Today, then, I've made two Things, some photos (collectively, one Thing, for today. Don't expect consistency around this - other days one photo may well be one Thing...), and a bracelet.
The bracelet is copper and random beads - I bought a large bag of random beads, and they don't have names. Some of them look like jaspers, the yellow ones could be anything. They look quite good, though, I think, even if they don't match! (Excuse the rubbish picture - it's dark here now.)
The photos were from my balcony when we were having breakfast this morning. A couple of random photos of buoys and boats, because I like them, and some rowers. There were lots of rowers out today - rather them than me, it looks tiring!
TAD - Day 4: Copper and sodalite earrings
You'll see a lot of earrings over the next month, I suspect, given the half an hour guidelines TAD have suggested for each piece. Some days I'll go over that, I'm sure, but not today!
Today's Thing is a pair of copper and sodalite wire-wrapped earrings, on handmade ear wires.
Blue fruit
This ideea struck me after i saw part of one of the stand up comedy shows from George Carlin. He said: "Did you notice there is no blue food? And don't say blueberries, you know they are freakin' purple!"
So i made the blue fruits myself, hoping he's laughing about it somewhere out there...anywhere :)
Rest In Laughs

Thing-A-Day 2010 - the beginning
February has started. Unfortunately, February has started with me being sicker than a very sick thing, so the Things I make may not be up to my usually impeccable (!) standards.
Today's thing is an unfortunately badly wrapped pair of earrings - it's serving as a prototype for pieces I may work up for sale later. I've also run out of wire, which is why I didn't redo them properly - it's not (just) because I'm lazy. Or ill. Also attached is a photograph, taken from my balcony today. In the hopes that it may distract you from the bad workmanship in the earrings. Also, photos count as a creative Thing, in my book, so I'm submitting two amateur Things, in the hopes that it makes up one good Thing.
