so i found these beautiful plastic peace sign beads on ebay and fell in love (imagine that, right!?). They came in the mail today all the way from Hong Kong and I realized that the beads I had already matched them pretty well. So, these came about:



Kind of child/tween-ish.. but my 21 year old heart still loves them.

i'm sorry if I missed it, but I searched for it and looked through the "how do i display _____" thread and didn't find it.

But, how do you guys display rings!? I'm at a total loss.

Found these cute charms online and HAD to buy them. Than while wandering around Wal-Mart, I realized that the braiding cord matched the colors almost perfectly, so I picked some up...and this is what happened!

I'm excited about them, they're easy and they're fun to make.

i'm absolutely in love with these...i've made like 25 so far. they're addicting, fast, and cute!

comments/criticism?

this is the first non-resin jewelry I've made since 2006.... and i'm very proud of it!!











and the rings:

I don't know how to word this with out sounding like a stuck-up ungrateful person...so please know that i'm not trying to come off that way.

But just out of curiousity, why do people heart items on etsy instead of buy them?

Don't get me wrong, it's flattering to realize that somebody hearted your item (actually, really flattering)... but it's just got me really curious.

I'm on a severe peace mode...and I'm stuck there. here's 25 peace rings i made.

i started out with this pendant for a coworker of mine:


and than I just kind of kept going:






I also have tons of rings that I'm probably going to post sometime tomorrow. I'm rather proud of the productivity that happened today.

i spent a good three hours yesterday making pendants, rings, two bangles, and things that will be turned into magnets once i find where i put my magnets...

here are the pendants:

















and my bangles [they are duplicates from ones i had before, but i don't think i posted them.]

I was fooling around with ribbon last night and ended up making five cute little bowls/pots..so i went to michaels and bought some styrofoam balls and some flowers and came home to make these:



I think they are adorable and happy!! My mom took the two little ones. One for her desk at work, and another for her friend at work.
