i am one twisted sister

twist twist twist, turn turn turn, wind wind wind. all i have been doing is twisting and turning and wrapping wire. i have permanent dents in my skin and fingernails! it's been slow and a learning process but i am getting much better at it. and its going faster. yesterday i found a little store in the 'town center' that sells beads and jewelry. honestly the beads arent that great of a quality, but i bought a couple anyways just to give her some biz, try them our and see what i can do. and hence the purple rings. they are supposed to be venetian glass, but they feel a bit plasticky. plus i almost completed 2 bracelets...one is the one in the middle...its with a stone called calzedonia in italian, altho i tried to look it up and cant find anything by that name (in english or italian). i love the stone it catches the light and looks this watery blue that could be like the sea or a watery clear blue day. so obviously with the middle bracelet i went with the water theme. the one next to it is a bit over the top with all the beading, but i think would be really nice with something simple but dressy. and i went with the sky for inspiration on that one. altho, it weighs a ton, anyone flying with that thing on would come down like a lead balloon. anyhoo the fiber optic beads catch the light during the night and the calzedonia catches the light during the day. unfortunately its grey and dull outside (and im lazy and just thru the stuff on the table, not bothering to do some decent kind of set up). and the pictures dont do the stones and beads justice. (the only pic that looks decent is the ring one, and those arent even that great in person - ive been doing lots of those rings because those are my meat and potatoes, they sell easily because they are small and inexpensive). off to try and make a necklace and then i wanna try eni oken's rainbow wrap technique and make some rings.
