I haven't really had time to make stuff lately...

I haven't really had time to make stuff lately, but these are two custom necklaces I made fairly recently.  One is from Dr. Who and one is from the Legend of Zelda.  Shadow chose an image off of the internet to use on the Zelda one as a gift for a friend.  The Dr. Who was a collaborative group effort and I promised the owner of this one that it would be One of a Kind.

If you have photos or graphics that you would want to wear in a necklace, ring, or keychain I am up for doing that.  I can't really sell this kind of stuff commercially on my Etsy since it's all copyrighted, but I'll do it for friends.  I usually sell necklaces for $20, keychains for $10, and with the rings it depends on the size and setting.

I am not necessarily over here trying to scrounge up business because with school and work I'm busy enough, but if you want something, I'm happy to make it as long as I can have a week or so to work on it.  You can ask Shaun - I'm a perfectionist so I will do the same thing over literally 20 times and pick the best one to sell you.  (I promise it's not a waste - as long as I don't set the stones I can acetone the images off and use the glass again.)

I just came across these and thought they looked nice so I wanted to share.  🙂

My tracking numbers indicate...

My tracking numbers indicate that I should have a buttload of my jewelry supplies arriving today so to anyone I've promised polish jewelry to - I will get it done this week.  Everything was on backorder, but it still got here a week earlier than I thought it would so that's awesome.  😃

JEWELRY STUFF

JEWELRY STUFF:  I have nothing yet.  🙁  I ordered parts last week, but a lot of the pieces I use are on backorder (supplier sold out because of Mother's Day, she said) so it might be a couple of weeks yet before they come in.  I am SUPER BUMMED about that because I have so many ideas in my brain and a couple of custom orders that I hate making people wait for.  😕 

Also, I have tried two different acrylic spray sealers for the plastic rings and even though they should be dry now (I sprayed them days ago and put them in a room with a dehumidifier) I can still dent the clear with my fingernail.  If I can dent it I imagine that they would scratch and scuff and I'm not down with that.  I am considering trying polyurethane spray, but I hate to keep buying sprays that I can't use.  The polyurethane spray I found at Hobby Lobby doesn't say specifically that it's ok for plastics, either, so that makes me a little nervous.  I mean, obviously, I'm not using it on all of the ones I have made - just some of the less fabulous pieces as a test.  I just wish I had a better idea of what to do.  Recommendations are welcome.
