Sterling Silver Beauty

It's light yet full, deliciously slinkly and compact, and shine shine shiny.

It's true! I can't get enough. Even find myself on a Thursday before a weekend out of town (to the Olympic Peninsula. going to be incredible) hesitating due to desires to create more.

Check out this sterling silver beauty.




We started with 16" gauge wire, pliers, a file, and a soldering torch. 7 hours later, voila! Going to take more pictures very soon. I also learned to make a solid clasp, which, as anyone who has ever lost a piece of jewelry knows, is invaluable.

Making things handmade can sometimes translate to a divine curse. You look around at things that are for sale and feel sick in your stomach with the knowledge of how simple a thing is to make yourself. The big screw you of today goes out to Tiffany's!

It's here!

Google, you so silly. Can't believe how easily I was convinced to be at a breakfast joint at 7am this Friday for the first game. The west coast time difference is going to seem more extreme for the next three weeks.
