Time Travel Made Easy

Bracelets are really hard to photograph. Also, I probably should've done this in copper, not silver, so I wouldn't have had to half ass the clasp (you can't see it, but believe me, it is missing one whole buttock), and so it would have made a matched set with The Salmon Hungers.



I am enjoying this project a great deal so far; I'm hoping it will help push me outside of my comfort zone and try making new and different things. More pendants, more bracelets, maybe even a necklace- something other than endless pairs of earrings.

Today was a bit of an odd day, until I realized I was completely dehydrated. That tends to put me a little out of my head, and I'm still feeling kind of scattered and full of the urge to chew my fingers off. *sigh*

The next town over is on fire; brushfires are pretty rare around here, so I was kind of alarmed to see the giant cloud of black smoke on the horizon when I got out of class.

Instead of NaNoWriMo this year (since I've no desire to even pretend to make the attempt anymore), I'm doing a sort of daily crafting challenge. I'm determined to spend at least one hour a day at my work table, Making Things.

Here is my offering for the first of November:



Lampwork glass and silver plated wire, and I'll get around to making matching earrings eventually. Pleased with how this came out, though I may redo it at some point in the future. I'm fond of those beads, and I'm glad I finally figured out what to do with them.
