Which is why I need your help with color/cut/style suggestions...anything really...throw it my way PLEASE! This is Me: ( Timeline (in no particular order) ) 4 dreamers| close your eyes

Silversmithing [16 Nov 2009|11:51pm] craftgrrl [fleurione] [ mood | accomplished ] I have been very, very bad lately at getting down and doing what I want to do - silversmithing at home. I have set up a workshop area but have spent months getting distracted away from doing it. So I was rather pleased to have decided the afternoon before a bithday party (a meal at 9:30.. so can't be late!) that I would make something out of silver for my friend. She used to be very into Lolita fashion, and while she doesn't wear the skirts and the lace as much, she is still very into the iconography - the keys and crowns and stuff. I decided initially to make the idea I had been toying with for ages, of a key whose top is a fleur-de-lis and whose key-bit is a crown, but it is very complicated and I still can't draw a crown shape that I'm happy with :P So I opted for a simplified version, a simple silver key with an initial. Her name begins with a K, which is useful, as there's a side of the letter to attach to the shaft... A's not so easy! Materials are sterling silver sheet and tube, and what I thought was a large sterling silver jump ring but which yellowed when heated, so I don't believe that it is :/ ( pictures ) My other project is a set of two rings for another pair of friends. I opted for D-wire which is basically the cylindrical wire cut in half and found it impossibly hard to bend into the oval for the ring even when heated, and perhaps my struggle with it is what has put me off sitting down to do anything for a while. I have however just discovered the existance of 'low dome' wire which is what I should have been using all along. I was expecting to have to flatten the D-wire down somewhat on the ring mandrel, but this low dome wire will be SOOO much more easy. I may even get them done by Christmas! 2 dreamers| close your eyes

Missin mah bangs [16 Nov 2009|01:18pm] madradhair [a_boston_peace] Okay, I haven't posted here in a while but I'm in desperate need of a hair cut. I'm trying to grow out my hair as much as I can so I'm not really doing anything with the length. But I do want to get bangs. Every time I get my hair cut and ask for bangs, I always come out with these little puny scraps of hair. So this time I want to find something completely different. Please ignore my HUGE septum ring. This was right after i got it done. ( CLICK ME =3 ) 5 dreamers| close your eyes

One Year Ago (PIC HEAVY!) [16 Nov 2009|10:56am] madradhair [joyslaughter] [ mood | awake ] [ music | Away We Go Soundtrack ] My hair is growing... EVER SO SLOWLY! but it's growing. And I'm so happy about it! It's taking a long time because after my last hair cut needed some chopping to make it even enough to grow out. ( One Year Ago vs. Today ) ( the colors i've gone through this year (pic heavy) ) i wanna grow it out... contemplating going back blonde. I think i might just not dye it for a long time and then when it fades enough just to go get it super highlighted... that's enough for my hair to go pretty blonde. 7 dreamers| close your eyes

Botched! [16 Nov 2009|02:37am] t_shirt_surgery [cjkameron] I was completely inspired by this community to reconstruct some t-shirts myself.

[15 Nov 2009|06:36pm] craftgrrl [holytoastr] I'm really lucky to live near a community center with an open pottery lab. Here are some of the pots I've made recently. I like how the colors came out on this one. The blue sorta sneaks around inside the green. The others did not come out as well. I think there was something wrong with the white glaze that day.

Cobbling together a zombie astronaut outfit out of a tablecloth [15 Nov 2009|09:58pm] craftgrrl [oh_meow] [ music | Sonic Youth- Shadow of a Doubt ] On Friday it was the 13th, and I went to a club night where you either had to come as a vampire or a zombie, with some stage acts related to various films of the genre. I had a silver heatproof tablecloth hanging about, and decided to go as a zombie astronaut (my boyfriend went as a zombie hick) I used a 1960s dress pattern for a simple shift dress, easy to get on without fastenings, and without too many seams to weaken the foil.
