The not fun stuff...

When you are a crafter it is not all "Let's make something Amazing!" no matter how much we want it to be. There is the fight of how to store things. Sorting them. Add in that if you have furrie babbies then they all want to help you are in for a long while of getting things sorted.

So today and last night I have been sorting out rings. Tiny little rings that are no bigger then well showing a photo will be the better choice of action as they are tiny 1/8th rings.

Yes that is a quarter. So I am sorting all these.. into there right colors like so.

Welcome to the unsexy side of crafting and one of the necessary evils.

Blessings!

Strange mind

Have you ever just gotten what I call fog brain. 1,000,000 things to do and you sit there with the durp face wondering how long it will take for that one flower to bloom. Yeah ... caffinee is needed. Well on the desk today is a custom leash I am makeing.

Stainless steel (of course and it will be four feet long. I will finish it today really. Here is what it looks like!

Sorry for the crappy picture. But it is coming along nicely. If all goes well I will be making a video or a tutorial for some of the weaves I do in the next coming days.

Happy Memorial day weeked!

Blessings-

7 am and I am awake

Sleep is over rated. Unless you're tired, and then that in turn is nullified by coffee. Yay Coffee! Today is going to be a busy one. House work and then working on a custom order that I have. I think I love custom orders the best really. It means some one really really wants an item and so it is going to be loved that much more. On the flip side it also means they are more hyper critical of my work. Which is good because it makes me better at what I do.

As I stated before I work in stainless steel. Lots of it. Why? Stainless steel is a metal that has been used for a long time by companies for many purposes like in the fabrication of kitchen appliances it is also used for watches and now for jewelry. It is often chosen by many manufacturers because it is a very strong, solid and durable metal that will not rust. For these same reasons, stainless steel is now popular in the making of jewelry, other fashion accessories, and some forms of art work. It will not tarnish or discolor your skin and cleans easily in soapy water. It does not contain any cobalt that oxidizes or any nickel that would cause allergy. Stainless steel is one of the most biocompatible (hypoallergenic) element known to man and should not irritate even the most sensitive skin.

They say only 1% of the world actually has an allergy to stainless. I do not work just in Stainless. I will work in other metals such as aluminum and copper on request. Here are some of the custom items I have made.
