Because Every Girl Needs More Earrings

Did I mention that I made 15 pair of earrings a couple days ago?  Which was all good and fine, until I realized that gave me 15 pair of earrings to get listed.  While I love sharing what I make, the whole process of getting it all listed is not my favorite part of what I do.  I'd rather be making stuff!  Small price to pay though.  :)  I've been adding a few new ones every day and will have everything listed by this evening.  Until then here is a sampling of what's already running.  There's also a coupon for the eTsy shop on my Mischievous Creations Facebook page. 10% off everything in the store until June 22.

And here's a little taste of what I'm working on today...

These little guys are something else to put together.  But the polishing is really what is kicking my butt.  I've only got about half of what need done, but this is a good start.  There are some super cute little girls I know that absolutely have to have star earrings for the 4th of July.  :)  We will see how they turn out.  These are ready for assembly and I can't wait to see how they turn out.

Happy Thursday everyone!

Fire Fire Fire

So this box of amazing goodness came yesterday. :)

I'll give you a hint, it's from Rio Grande.  :)  It's my new tools!  Including my new bff, a max flame torch! :) That means I get to play with fire today!  It was perfect timing.  I had just scored this little toolbox from the hardware store for $10.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to need two though.  One for the tools and one to store all my metal in.  A toolbox was a must.  We've got a moody Parti Yorkie that thinks my tools are fun to eat, especially when he's pouting.  He drug off my new nylon chain nose pliers before I even had a chance to use them.  I'm not even going to go in to what he did to my purse and it's contents after we got home from our ride and then left again for a few hours. :/

I've still got a few more things showing up today before I can get to work.  The main one being my jeweler's saw.  I've got a piece of Crescent Valley Turquoise I've been hanging on to for a ring.  That's going to be the first project I start on.  Leave it to me to pick something that's going to be a bit more intensive for my first project.  But hey, that's just how I roll.

I slammed through errands and chores yesterday so today will leave me with a little more flexibility to practice.  The mailman won't show up for a few hours and that will give me just enough time to clean off the work table so it's suitable to blow some flames.  Holy hell I'm EXCITED!!!  If I have progress worth sharing tomorrow you can bet it will be on here.  Keeping my fingers crossed I've got some skills.  :)

Peace and flames to everyone today.

Full On Flaming Work Mode

I opted to not post yesterday.  I'm in full on flaming work mode right now.  My goal for yesterday was three pendants done.  I thought I had hit my goal until I was polishing the last one and noticed it still needs a few touch ups.  That's on today's agenda.  :)  Along with a few more goodies.  In the meantime here are the two I did get finished and listed in the eTsy shop.

You can see more pics and details here.

This first one is a lovely little piece of Tiffany Stone.  It's also called Bertrandite or Opalized Flourite.  I love the depth in the stone itself.  I kept the heart simple so there was plenty of room for the pattern to show through.

Turquoise is one of my favorite stones to work with.  Especially Royston Turquoise!  I love love love the uniqueness of each piece that comes across my table.  My favorite part of this one is the little lake accent.  :)  It's really just a beautiful stone with some really amazing flow.

I'm off now for the weekend.  I'm going to be cranking out everything I can while I can.  There may be a little time out for a Harley ride at some point.  :)  I'll share my progress on Monday.  Hope you all have an amazing weekend!
