spent part of last weekend replicating a necklace design I saw online and when I was done I was like ah such a shame I never DIY pieces to wear...how tragic...what an oversight...never mind why I have silk beading thread on hand and also special tweezers.
anyway here's some stuff I swiped off my bathroom counter that I've made over the years. The problem isn't that I don't wear them. I wear them until they break and the urge to mend is not as strong as the urge to make. see also: editing vs writing.
I have wicked metal allergies and sometimes get so sensitized I can't even wear a watch or your average fitness tracker because of the metal backs, so there's a lot of plastic kiddo clasp going on here. And apoxie sculpt. No, normal hypoallergenic materials do not work. No, clear nail polish does not work. Thank you. If it worked I would have done it by now. If I wasn't wildly allergic to what seems like most metals on this planet I would abandon all of you in an instant to go apprentice with a jeweler somewhere. No hard feelings.





#these would be much stronger if I dulled the gold mica but eehhhh#also if I learned how to finish clasps#also we're not counting all the many joking or not joking word / phrase bracelets throughout the years but have one. as a treat.#tragically I've also gotten weirder about all kinds of plastic so we're down to. like. silk and hemp and rocks picked off up the ground#already started another tighter net and I have a hunk of clear quartz coming...#I also have a STATEMENT piece made from a piece of rose quartz literally sold as decor#but somehow! have misplaced it
