Steampunk

I've been spending a lot my time researching jewelry design + the steampunk genre. I found some amazing, wonderful & inspirational pieces but I haven't made anything of my own. Part of it is because, holy crap, how could I ever create something so beautiful? Most of my lack-of-creation is the mechanics behind it. Do I solder the pocket watch movement onto the pendant? How do I attach the flowers to the movement and then a gear to the flower? I suppose a lot of it will be trial and error but I'm scared of ruining things. I could spend all day at the craft store... not that that's something new.

When I imagine the type of cartoon I would create if I were a cartoonist, I imagine the Martha Speaks theme song.

So... I love the look of this one but my hair kept getting caught in it and Piper loved trying to eat it and I had to take it off.

Spring Mix Necklace

I love these beads. I've had these bird charms for over a year but never used them because they just didn't seem right with anything. I started making this necklace today and the birdies chirped to be included. DESTINY.

Apparently There Can Be A Such Thing As Too Much Perez

Finn: Who's Ms. American Pie?
Me: You know, I'm not too sure who they're singing about?
Finn: It's Lindsay Lohan.
