New in Shop
These crochet necklaces were experiments in spontaneity. I tried to make pieces having no plan at all, just led by whatever supplies I felt needed to be destashed.
Now, this cuff was made from all kinds of fabric bits and 2 buttons that Sparrow sent me! To be honest, one big hurtle was trying not to make something that looked just like her! Because upon seeing all the lovely bits, I could only think of her cuffs- like her style was made for her bits. (Well, duh, it's the stuff she collects for a reason.) Just the fact that I made a cuff from them. I avoided one big focal piece and grunged mine up with wax medium and soil, that sorta helped. But then, I had to try to make something that I also really liked, so it took a bit of finagling.

I do love the cuff, it's kickin! I'm going to have to do some grunging- I'm running low on crusty old fabric. Only have 3 suitcases left...
Why DO we keep buying supplies? I think all artists do it- my jewelry shop is dead but my supply shop keeps on bringing me spare change... which I then immediately use to buy more supplies. Right now I'm shopping in the other window. I apparently don't have enough 'good' buttons left. Only one jar's worth - how will I survive?! :/
