Crafting Clean Out - Jewelry Supplies (Part 2)

Here I go again, working on more projects for my Crafting Clean Out project. If you haven't read the first post, it's entitled Crafting Clean Out (Part 1) - you can just click on the link to get to it. So, I made more jewelry and stuff today for my crafting project while my sister and I watched T.V....kind of T.V. we just watched stuff on her computer because we don't have a T.V. It kind of isn't fun since I can't watch hockey.

Anyway, I'm getting off topic. Let me show you what I worked on today.

The black hearts are almost done. I just need to put a thin layer of resin on top to make sure none of the paint chips when worn. These will be sold in my shop, hopefully by the end of the month. Hopefully. I find the right lighting.

Here is my yellow hearts. This one is one of my favorites. And it is the only one with a clasp. I should have make the other one have a clasp but I don't know if I have anymore. I guess I'll have to look.

I finally did something with these blasted beads. This took me almost two and a half hours of stringing all because I had to make the hole bigger. It's on an elastic cord...

...and a lot of the beads broke in the process. The bracelet would have been bigger if I hadn't broken a lot of the bead while trying to make the hole bigger...sad but now I'm going to put these in my art journal.

While we were doing craft time, the power went out on our side of the house. We may have blown a fuse but nothing changed on our side of the house. Heck, I think we had less on than usual. So now I have to cut this short because my laptop is dying slowly. I'm going to spend the rest of the night reading fanfiction on my phone while listening to my iPod. 

W.I.P.-ed: Black Hearts and Girls

A couple of my current art W.I.P.s that I hope to finish soon. Maybe I can finish these two by the end of the week...I will try.

Here are my black hearts. I  bought these a long time ago because they were cheap. I wanted to do something with them but then forgot about them. This is part of my Crafting Clean Out project that I started last night. You'll find the original heart in that post. I'm probably going to paint designs on these hearts and put them on a cord to sell as necklaces but that's still uncertain. I haven't really decided what I'm going to do with them.

This is a little girl who currently lives on my art journal page. I haven't been art journaling in a while, possibly because I'm awful at it. I'm too big of a perfectionist and I have a hard time working on art if someone is watching me. It's weird, I know but knowing that someone is watching makes me uncomfortable.

I have no idea what I'm going to do with her - she's not even finished. She drying so I can fix her up tomorrow. Well, I'll figure something out.

Crafting Clean Out - Jewelry Supplies (Part 1)

My steampunk creations.

Over the last couple years, I've collected a lot of beads, clasps, charms, etc. I mean, a lot if stuff. So, I'm making it a goal to try to get rid of everything since I only use some of it, not all of it. I use findings all of the time but how often do I use beads? Not very.

Some of the things, I'll be giving away. If I have a lot of the same stuff, I'll be making kits to sell/give to others.

I already started this yesterday when I made a few steampunk pieces for the 100 Themes Challenge. But I'll be sure to try to use some of it every day until everything is gone.

I managed to make a few things today. Nothing really special or anything I can wear but I'm getting through things slowly.

 This project of mine is going to take me weeks. Possibly months. But, since my sister, Vanessa, and I craft everyday, this shouldn't be a huge issue...I hope.I think the thing I'll have the most trouble with would be not having enough chain or the right kind of chain to go with what I want to make. I guess I could just gather everything and see where it goes.

There are a few items that I'm altering. Like the gray hearts (pictured below). I'm painting them black before I paint designs on them. It should be fun. I have a few wood beads that I want to paint as well but I want them to be bright and colorful...I've been really attracted to the color yellow lately. I'm not sure why.

Well, since I'm rambling, I'll just stop writing and let you have a look at what I've been working on tonight.
 

Some earrings

Some more earrings

That heart is actually gray. I made this for my sister.

This is a gift to my niece, Kearstin. She asked me to make this for her when we went Black Friday Shopping.

I have a bunch of these and I have no idea what to do with them. Any suggestions?

 I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.
