I had to take a break from Ellen's Book (which you will be seeing more of shortly) in order to wait for... well, an order. Paper, to be exact. Ultra fancy-schmancy cold-press watercolor paper from France.
My local all-things-artsy store wanted 80 bucks for a pad of 20 sheets of paper.
For a 5 day wait, I got it for $30, free shipping.
I love saving money.
In the off time I tinkered with a few things.
This is a very tribal looking piece. I dyed the satin cord some time ago, and then just the other day found my stash of junk-yard metal. I used ammonia to get the green patina on the metal, and then it sort of made itself after that.
Making jewelry is like meditating or doing yoga. There is a pleasant and calming rhythm to it, and once you decide on your pattern, you sort of go on autopilot to finish the assembly process.
Some days autopilot is a very good thing.
