Real life has been a little crazy lately, which accounts for the blog silence. I haven't been entirely unproductive however. Two weeks ago, I made a couple of rings using materials I had lying about.
Plastic bag from Victoria & Albert Museum in London (isn't it pretty?)
+ glass domes + adjustable filigree ring blanks + glue / resin =
I think the rings are just about the darlingest things I've ever made. They've already found new homes, but I hope to make more and list them in my sadly-neglected Etsy store. They'd make wonderful and inexpensive holiday gifts.
Lesson of the day: plastic bags are more useful than you'd think. Especially the pretty ones.
Holiday shopping just got easier and so much more fun with Lori Anderson's Virtual Craft Fair that she's hosting on her blog Pretty Things. From Nov 26-Dec 3, Lori's online fair will be featuring 70 artists who will offer giveaways, store discounts and all sorts of yummy deals. Just click here for the details and the first 7 featured artists/designers. And don't forget to check in daily till Dec 3!
