A Jewelry Update

Okay guys. Here's the deal. Today I did do an ICAD card. I really did. It was inspired by the prompt "stripes". And I did it in pink and orange, in order to go along with another challenge that I was planning on participating in. But what ended up happening was just as I was going to try and take a picture, my camera batteries died. And we don't have any other ones in the house. We use them to the full extent of their abilities. And we need to get some new ones. Hopefully I will tomorrow. So as I was trying to decide what to do about this unfortunate situation, I decided to simply search my computer for something else that I could share with you. And what I found were some pictures that I had taken of some jewelry that I had made. I just made another one, and I uploaded the photos earlier today. Before my camera batteries died. They are actually going to be sold in my Etsy shop. That I now have an official partner for. And for making clothing as well. But that's beside the point. I thought that I would share this necklace here as a sort of teaser, to test the waters a little bit.

I don't necessarily remember if I have ever shown this particular piece on the blog, but if I have, it would have been a while ago. But this is a new picture at least. I came up with some nice props to put in the background to make it a little more interesting. The foreign looking coins are actually from Costa Rica; I got them as change when I went on a missions trip there with my school some odd weeks ago. It was a really cool experience, and I brought these home as souvenirs. As well as some bracelets. I just thought that it was cool as a prop. Let me know what you think. Anyways, I'm going to head on out, but I'll make sure to update tomorrow with a post on today's AND tomorrow's ICAD. I will make sure. I hope to see you then!

Update Post

Sorry I've been MIA for so long, but with us moving sometime within a couple months, things have been pretty hectic around here. My parents were gone for a while looking at houses, and a whole bunch of stuff kept coming up that was actually keeping me from being on the computer much at all. However, I still would like to manage to keep up with the blog. Even though the posts may not be quite as long as they normally are, I'd still like to post every day, even if it's only a short post. Also, I've been working on putting together a bunch of mixed media kits and working on making my jewelry. I've only listed one thing so far, and that's located here.

I've also been working like crazy on writing articles. I'm trying to become a Platinum Member of Ezine articles, and to do that you have to write 10 articles that fit all of their article guidelines. So far I have five published, and there's one that's still in the review cycle. And one that I'm currently writing. So almost seven in all. I've been using some of their article suggestions to give me ideas, and I'm so grateful for those.

Another thing that I was considering was maybe doing more than one post a day here on the blog. If they're short quickie posts anyways, then it shouldn't be hard to do a couple a day throughout the day. As long as they don't take me a half hour to write. I just don't have that kind of time. Not if I still want to craft. :) So yeah. That's all I've got for now; if I do another post today, I'll probably do a link post. I had fun doing that last time. So I'll talk to you all later! Bye for now!
