I was feeling kind of listless...
meaning I hadn't listed anything in my shop lately.
Conditions hadn't been all that great for photography...
wind...clouds... rain
Besides I'd been busy in the studio and taking you all on tours...
and dealing with my roneriness
This is what happens when I'm sipping bourbon and watching Deadwood in the evening.
Good thing I didn't name them F****ing C*cks***er earrings.
My friend on FB says why bother to put symbols in your swear words, if you have to do that don't even bother to use the word then.
I say F*** Y**! to her
and I didn't want to have to put an adult warning on my blog... so there!
Torch enameled discs turning into earrings
they'll go under my NuministaChic earring category
Put up a boatload of listings in my shop today
These are ultra large
A little of everything
LampWONK
Criffles
Studnik
beads all aglow and crusty
This was a *WIP and ReWIP and unWIP and ReWIP
since way last year.
I just couldn't get the buttons to lay right and behave and look good once it was off of the design table.
The copper okra and a few other adjustments finally taught it a lesson and it finally hangs the way I want.
* Work In Progress
While I'm at it I've got another WIP to show you
These are some earrings I started last year. Only thing is the vintage button shank is glass so it may easily break with the headpin going through it. I think I solved that by gluing leather to the back and thusly securing the headpin and the glass to the Chinese coin.
Those were going to be the earrings but then these little torch enameled copper discs showed up on my table.... next to the bourbon
How cool would it be to rivet them to the coin!
But it's a delicate operation probably not suitable for a pounding.
Anvilartifacts suggested a faux rivet.
I like that idea.
these are fabulous...and thanks for the laugh this morn :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jane and welcome to my blog world
DeleteFirstly.... Ha ha ha... Loved your sharp wit so early in the am... Deadwood references especially. I love that show with its Shakespearean way with woods and phrases. New work is outstanding miss k.. Lusting after drops on sticks.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well up there... Xxxcynthia
It took me a bit to get into Deadwood and now I absolutely think the writing was genius notwithstanding the over the top gratuitous use of cuss words. I think they brought that to the level of an art form.
DeleteMy favorite line last night was when Jane tells Alma she'll have to wait a bit for Wild Bill and says "it'll take him a while to get the phlegm situated"
Glad you like the new work.
Ha! You crack me up. I'd love to sip bourbon with you and watch Deadwood. We'd have f**kin hoot-and-a-half!
ReplyDeleteYour work is gorgeous, and those earrings make me wish I had more ears!
:0)
xoxoxo
Wouldn't that be fun to have a Deadwood party.
DeleteBring out the canned peaches!
Yes, more ears!
Hm...faux rivets...sounds great!! Or what about screws and nuts?
ReplyDeleteYes, I think I might have some little ones that might could do the trick.
DeleteI love the top ones...and those lampwork beads!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dawn. I just love your work too.
DeleteNice enamel discs and those orange criffles melt me. xox
ReplyDeleteIf you're going to use symbols instead of swear words, don't leave any letter in that might give the the exact explitive away. It's funnier if it's all left up to the reader's imagination.
ReplyDeleteWhat the ^&**)(&*& ()& are you talking about?
DeleteYeah, can I sip bourbon with you and watch Deadwood, too? And I love the coin earrings at the bottom. Wow!! You really get my inspirational ideas started.
ReplyDeletexoxo Juliette
Thanks Juliette, We could have a sipping and cussing party and watch F***in' Deadwood!
DeleteSomething tells me I'm missing out by not watching TV.
ReplyDeleteSo much great new work! Love what you're doing with that last WIP...And the orange criffles remind me of life savers. Very cool.
Your new work all looks wonderful! I guess I too am missing out on something with the TV thing....
ReplyDeleteLove the colours and textures in that necklace,those head pins are a delight and the crusties are winners.
ReplyDeleteFantastic new works! I am longing for those earrings and the crusty beads and the LampWonk! My husband and I got so addicted to Deadwood. Yes, Shakespearian with lots of cussing... whats not to love?
ReplyDeleteThe Chinese coins - GREAT with the @%&#ing enameled discs and lampwork! Frontier elegant
