I've been able to work a bit, the last three or four weeks; three necklaces, but they're not all that long. Oh, and re-stringing a couple of bracelets to take to the gallery for consignment. And half a dozen bookmarks of the charm-glued-to-the-stone sort, which make me happy.
Also, spent my earned income tax thingy, plus a bit more, and now have the Lindstrom cutters. ZOMGeleventy-one etc., those are marvelous things. Not just in the "need less pressure to cut" way, but they cut closer, and somehow the *way* they cut the wire means there's much less smoothing of the ends needed. As in, last necklace took half the time. Wheeeee!
I didn't set out to make that many. I figured there would be a couple dozen when I was done. But then I started going through all my beads, box by box, playing with this idea for superlight earrings... and then there were ninety pairs.
Plus half a dozen regular pairs. And the pendants. And the necklace. And the half-done necklace-crowns.
