I opted out of dinner at Skyler's tonight-- quite frankly because I'm cranky and tired, my uterus is trying to claw its way out from the inside, and I will be good company for no one in my current state. My jewelry-making's been perking me up, so here are a few early pics. I desperately need a new camera-- many of my favorite bits didn't photograph well at all, since my camera handles neither up-close nor shiny and iridescent well. As a result, everything is flat, blurry, and not at all the color it should be. I couldn't get hardly any of the earrings that use A/B finish beads or miracle beads. Hence no "Carp Diem" earrings or shiny Chinese coin disc dangles. BOO.


Shell and painted Czech glass earring.

Okay, it's time for a warm bath, comfort food for dinner, and an early bedtime. I'll miss all of the people at Sky's tonight, but I think this irritable chick is better off with silence, tea, and exile this evening.
