Rings!!!

I had finially got me a ring mandrel! 

Here I will show and explain how I made the up above ring. First I used my wedding ring to see what size my ring finger. 

It says I'm a 7. I used a small piece of wire, to help measure the finger i want the ring. I finger i measure is about a 10. So that what size I'm making my ring.

I chose black wire as my ring, but there is all type and sizes. I really don't know the size of this wire but I started out with 10 inches. I know I wasn't going to be using that much, but better to be to long then to short.

I decided that the ring design will be a wrap around.

So I wrap the wire around the mandrel twice, the mandrel is laying down and I bent the  wire up. I took off the ring and see if it fit.

It did so I figure it needed something. So I found some beads to help with the look. The glass 4mm, with a silver inside.

You might have to yours your wire cutter to cut the access off. Start by uses round nose pliers and make an open loop at the end.

Slid on the beads, and bend the wire onto it self so it enclose the bead.

 And there you go. It's not perfect, but who need perfect in this imperfect world.

This bored housewife is still

I'm still try to figure out this blog thing. So far so good, I think. Now I'm going to start editing the pictures better so they fit better in the layout. Hopefully I can get it.

I did start doing online college. So I went back!!! I'm so proud. I'm turning 31 this week and I'm in college. I in business school to learn how to run my own busy. Cause one day soon I will own my own bar. I'm on my 3 week of school and it still awesome!!

Snuggle the cat

Snuggle or Snuggs, was one if my fur baby. He was one of the awesomest cats very.  He got sick 3 weeks ago and passed on to kitty heaven.  I'm going to miss him.  He was my baby, he momma quit feeding him, so I feed him.  He loved to snuggle and cuddle. (That's how he got his name). 

He would take over any furniture! 

Or car.  He love going places with me.  

RIP

Here I go again

Here I go again with this blog.  Been really busy lately.  I have done other art/craft stuff. Here some of the pic here. I decided to use a shell as a display.

Sea shell neckless. 

I've learn how to wrap wire around beads. 

This is going to be fun!!!!

Trying the iPhone app!!!

I was wondering how the iPhone app works so here my first post from it. 
These are some more stuff I made!
  

 

I starting making a whole lot of ear ring like these.

Have them in all sort of colors!!

And in different sizes!  

Hope the app work like its supposed to. 

Little Color in your life

Add a Little Color in your life with with these. 

You will need:
BEADS!!! (any type and size will work it all you) I use clear colorful seed beads.
Pliers (I got a 3 and one tool, but you need needle nose, cutter, and round tip)
2 eyepins (size on this is pending on big you make your earrings, I used a 1 1/2)
2 6mm jump rings
2 4mm jump rings
2 fish hook earring hooks.
AND TIME!!!

  Put beads on the eyepins in any order. I just whatever my figures pick up.  Leave about 1/4 inch to make a loop.

 

• Then take the rod of beads and into a open circle. If you good at making circle, that great. I'm not :( so I used a AA battery to help guide me. (but if you decided to make it bigger or smaller you need something else)
• Take the 6mm jump ring and put it in the hoops of the eyepin. and close it. Put the 4mm jump ring on the 6mm and the ear ring hook and close.

Easy, pisy, soft, and cheesy.

String of beads

I figure with the 2 sets of earring I made, I might want a neckless to go with them. So I sat down and put the pearl like beads on a string. And it come out like this.
