fanciful devices

Sun Through the Clouds.
You already seen this baby.
I also put up this new baby:

Ceremonial Magic. 
Which was totally inspired by Kathy Van Kleeck
You know when you feel like you're out-and-out stealing from someone and then you go back and look and their stuff looks nothing like what you made? Yeah. That.
(Here worn w/clasp in front.)

A for Aberash.
Finally made this baby. From my German haul. It will take a special someone to sport this baby... The tin that holds the rubber loops to the cord has some of my embezzling speckles.

And my bodacious mannequin is glowing.


B is for Badr.
This bronze drawer pull has a seed I found in a park in U as a sorta bead cap. Cuz I so cray cray.


Do you know how much of my time on earth has been swallowed up by Photoshop, and making sure all those little specks of teeny black or white lint or whatever it is are erased from my picture? Anyone else?


The Mistress.
Here's a thing. With things. And a thing....


I been kinda on an alternative closures kick.
I get easily bored, you see.

Night Rainbow.
Cuz its, like, an array. Like a rainbow is an array of colors all spread out in an arc. But it's all black, so... and it's arrayed in an upside down arc... so.... It's like the reverse of a rainbow... This guy drove me a little crazy actually. Getting all the sizes and 'weights' right. Ugh.


Buncha stuff that's been hanging around. The limbs of the black baby from last batch. Actually, I had to sand it all down b/c it had these big ol' plastic 'seams' that were just yuck- very distracting.  Remembering all the work that went into this made me just go back and up the price. Then no one will buy it and I'll once again forget the effort and lower it way down. Circle of life.


The Aperature.
Oh, oh! This one! The leather was a broken dog collar I found two blocks from my house! And I loved how worn out it was. Before repeated washings, it smelled like distilled dog. Which made me chuckle to no end, since we live in doggie central here. More dogs than people, which I love. I'm always flopping on the sidewalk to cuddle some awesome dog or another. Sigh.


And yeah, I flipped the inside out. And added a fancy little crystal point.


The Nurturer.
See this one it's cuz pink is a girly color, and girls are natural nurturers, well, usually, and there's a spoon! Symbolizing nurturing nutrients! Get it? Get it? And the one above is the aperture since how the key hole is an aperture but it also opens a door which is an aperture... And I just like the work aperture.
Aperture.


And it's a triple wrap! Cuz I cray cray.
So that's it for today. The end.
