Day 136 - What's Bugging You?

Let the buggy goodness continue! Today's creepy creation is a resin encased flower bug. This little bug has the most vivid deep orange coloration with black spots. The pendant's metal trim is a shiny silver and I've hung it from a black velvet cord for just the right gothic touch. If you'd like to get one for yourself, they'll be available on my ETSY site this Thursday, Dec 17th. Check it out!

Day 135 - You're Buggin'

I love jewelry that's, well, different. Pretty, a hint of sparkle, sweet at first glance...until you take a second glance and realize that pretty little pendant is a bug! This little ten spotted beetle is a shimmery gold, but I'll have a scorpion and other beetles to show you soon. I made a few necklaces this week out of these resin encased beetles, adding a gothic style velvet cord. If you'd like to have one of your own, you can order them through my ETSY site as of Thursday, Dec. 17th. Check'em out!

Day 40 - You Put Your Left Hand In...

Can you believe 40 days has come and gone since the start of 365 Days of Halloween? Only 325 more days to go! Anyway, I promised to show you the rest of yesterday's little contour line assignment: draw my hand six times, in different positions, holding complicated objects. Of course, being right handed, I could only draw my left hand (you do NOT want me to try drawing with my left hand! Oh my! It's awful!). And my little objects were all Halloween related. Overall, I think it came out pretty well! Next comes inking them in! (Though I usually wear more ink than the paper does...that's why I carve pumpkins instead!)
