I am going to the London Pygmalion Society Meet on the 25th! Yay! I have this girl at work who I accidentally mentioned to that I'm into dolls, and she got intrigued. So intrigued in fact, that she is the reason I am going to the meet! She wants to see different sized dollies, as she is interested in crocheting/knitting for them, but obviously she's never seen one live yet, so I'm taking her to a meet to see a wider range of dollies than what I can offer. :D Scheewt! Can't wait! Also I'll most likely get to meet all the Oxford dolly ppl! Double-scheewt!
I tried taking some quick pics of my little things I made recently. For some reason, I feel like I shouldn't continue the matching bracelet that I already started, as I feel a bit funny today. To be honest, I've been feeling a bit weird all week. Not a nice feeling, especially because I would want to finish the bracelet. But tomorrow maybe I can finish it. Anyway, pictures of my exploits!
This choker- I have no idea what to do with it. It looks pretty okay when it is not on the doll, but then on the doll it's just... blaaah. Should I take the middle chain off? Should I lower it? Is it all wrong? I don't know what to do! xC
This is the necklace I made and I reeeeally like how it looks! I made the hook and the bit it attaches to all by myself, and I'm pretty proud about that! First time I did that! This is made with byzantine weave, with Czech glass beads and rings between each strand of weave. The whole thing is stainless steel and I quite like the colour of it- I might do quite a bit with stainless steel from now on and skip silver altogether.
I took these pictures in bit of a haste, and I don't really think they do the necklace justice, it looks so much better in person. :3I need to get some better quality pliers if I keep making jewellery, as the ones I have are cheap and small, which were okay to try out if I liked this, but now that I want to do this more and I'm sure I will keep doing it relatively regularly, I need to get better tools. I had a damn blister on my ring finger from making the gold and silver necklace...
Anyhoo. I'm off to do something... unproductive now. I think. Adios!
EDIT.
I seriously want to do something nice for my boys birthday. Bake a cake maybe? Make some sort of starter with mushrooms? (I hate mushrooms.) Make awesome main course? Luckily I'm off tomorrow after all, so I can go shopping for ingredients. If I am to do something with mushrooms, I need to scour the Cornmarket to see if they have ACTUAL mushrooms and not just the
