So much stuuuuuff.

OK, thank you guys so much for all the supportive comments. This is why I love the online crafty community, so much awesomesauce.

 Second, let me apologize for three pix of the same thing, but I honestly felt each one gave a different piece of necessary info. Assuming anything related to necklaces can be considered necessary.

(The top half of this prayer vessel is treated with fine emblozzling powder. You can almost see it!)

 Here three slightly graduated memory wires have been wrapped in banana fiber and just coated in a zillion tiny stitches. And I used white rub-n-buff on the metals. Wait, lemme show you the other end. Which brings me to Sharon Driscoll's request, "How about listing a few ways us more anal retentive people can "grime" up our work. I need some guck and cant get it." OK, unless anal means actually rubbing it in your... I mean, you gotta get grimy... Like here I rubbed the fibers with paste wax mixed with dirt (straight from outside, not sifted or nuthin'.) Then that wasn't enough so I also rubbed a very grimy paintbrush I'd been using to oxidize a million things. It was still wet and covered in rust particles. Since I oxidize so very much, the stuff gets everywhere and I really like the effect on fabrics and leather.

Here's a crazy bright piece. I still have a mini boner for crazy bright things. There are TWO pieces of body piercing jewelry in this baby. And these electric chartreuse gems from the gemshow- no idea what they are.

Yeah, another prayer vessel with the bottom half in variegated coppery leaf! I swear, if I had a nickel for every time I've seen one of those...

But this one has these dots on top. I haven't taken the close ups yet, but it's pretty cool. What the hell kinda paint is it you ask? It's Japanese gel for that miniature food, meant to look like raspberry drizzle stuff.

Here's this. A geode with pigment powder.

Here's from my faux mercury glass series.

Sheeeemery.

Oh and some more with the teardrop findings that turned out to be ten times more trouble than they were worth.

Don't know if you can tell, but I'm always looking for shortcuts because I'm so impatient. 

The colorful polymers here under the leafed star findings, as well as the bottom dangles on the red ones above and the dangle bead in the crazy bright necklace way above, those are all from the awesome and totally unique Grubbi. I won them in a giveaway! And I couldn't stop myself from writing "I never win these things." Just like all y'all do when I tell you you've won a giveaway. Circle of life.

These were a tiny star flower cookie cutter for fondant that I sliced into 2 and opened up, oxidized, leafed, etc. Coin and medal from Uruguay.

Oh! I fixed these. Reshaped the findings, re-oxidized and lengthened the link to the whistles so the beads no longer obscure them.

These just needed more oxidizing. And I just needed to slow down and breathe.

Check out these babies. Started with two tiny fondant cookie cutters, then continued it with some brass strips from the hardware store.

What am I forgetting? Oh! this guy:

Huge ass cuff. And I showed it to you before but now the leafing makes it all better.  Didn't expect this new leaf to be so coppery but it's quite gorgeously bright.

So wait what else  is going on? Oh yeah! It's New Years Eve. I should proly be doing something else with myself.... 

Happy New Years you awesome bitches.
