Monday

So now there is yet another monday and yet another week at work!
Weekends always feel to short, miss having summer holiday like you did in school. Worked a bit on my jewellery during the weekend. Going home next week. Can't take that much stuff with me hope but will try and sort some kind of beading project out to keep me amused also will bring scetch pad and camera so will hopefully get inspired. If I wasn't so rubbish at scetching I would share some with you, as it stand I might show some photos instead when I get back :-)

New blog

Have new blog now : Rants of a mad woman

Resin brooches!

Here are some resin brooches I've done that I could finally take pictures off since I bought both new batteries and a memory card.
Also if anyone knows how to change the white balance on an Olympus camera please let me know!


This one has paper flowers in it. It looks really nice but is really hard to take a decent picture off, no matter how I try it wont show the leaves properly on the picture but it does loo really goo in real life.


A glitter flower and a glitter butterfly




This Butterfly I tried adding colour to and then make it in certain areas so it looked like the colours on an actual butterfly. It went quite well but isn't perfect. I like the paleness of the colours. Also if you turn it around and look at the back the colours are for some reason really vivd there.


And this one is my favorite. I used some bead flowers that I'd bought once becuase they looked pretty, but had no idea what to use them for. The look great inside resin.

I know I haven't been posted lately. That's because I've been so busy, mainly working. My jewellery making is suffering too.
Feed up now thou.
It's one thing working for the money but it's so frustrating when you give it your all and completely knacked yourself but get nothing in return.
I've probably said this before but I really miss my old job. At least there I got the feeling people would notice if I suddenly disappeared.
Don't get me wrong, people here are nice and all just not as close as in my old place. And the work and un-appreciation is driving me nuts!
Not that it will matter for that long I guess. Since probably not here in a couple of months. Still will need to cut down on my hours and spend more time doing what makes me happy!

Wanted to take jewellery pics for my webpage so I can update it, but Jeff lost the memory card so I can't...
Really pissing me off!

Another blog?!

I am planning on creating another blog to run beside this one. One where I can be a bit more random and post whatever I feel like. Thought about doing both on this one but I think this one is best suited for my jewellery rambles.
I do have a super secret blog too (which I have had for far longer then this one, infact even longer then my sister the blog master have been blogging) but it would be nice to have a more open blog with general rambles. Can't decide what to call it thou...

Family tree

I was looking around my sisters blog, and it kind of hit me how detached I am from my relatives. I know I have relaitives but if you ask me to give you some name I would more then likely just stare blankely into space.
I'm just not the family type.
Now I'm not some strange kind of recluse, I send Xmas cards to my direct family and go home approx once a year. But I don't see everyone when I do go home and most of them don't keep in touch with me. My sister talks about our cousins and stuff but I've probebly meet them all less then five times in my whole life. And it's not like I get invited to weddings or funerals.
I'm not complaining, I just find it a bit odd.
