meat, crystals, poker & other mundanities.

sorry! did mean to update this before now, but just kinda didn't. Anyway...

So yeah, i've just started my third week of full-time meaty goodness. My spongelike ability to pick up on how to do stuff has been stretched and at the moment i'm a bit clogged up with little bits of info and pork, which isn't good cos it makes chocolate taste funny and i sooo neeeed chocolate! Oh yeah and the girl whose teaching me everything moves states in 4 weeks so i better get all spongy again!

Today being the last day of the month (yes i'm a mathematical genius. deal) the voting for crystal park's April people's choice awards for awesome pineapples finishes today. To all those people i know and don't know and would know if i could know but can't know so i won't know, who voted for the corset of yumminess WOOOT!!YOUGUYSROCKSOHARDOMGWTFROFLMFAO...!!!!111!!!111

erm, thankyou. Should know if all your coolness and my awe inspiring talent have resulted in victorious joy in the next couple of days. Seriously i don't know what else i could do to win this thing. Except the project i'm starting right now. chainmail and Swarovski crystal Indian bridal set including two 5-ring slave bracelets, a tikka (that's the forehead thingy), a choker and a long necklace, earrings with ear chains and probably a footcharm if i have enough jumprings. To get an idea of the colours i'll be using, check out my red Tikka at my deviantart account.I expect to have the set completed during this month(may) and submitted for next month (june) which is the final month of competition. In the meantime I will submit both my chainmail blossom charm purse and my crystal daisy ring, both of which are on my Deviantart account.

oh yeah, and anyone whose interested in playing online poker for free without having to bluff or even sit at a table all the time, put absolute poker in your google and smoke it! Downloading the software has thus far proven to be spyware and adware free for the 3 computers i know have it on there, and if you see cherrydelite on the tables DONTFUCKINRAISEMEYOUBASTARD! ahem. If you see noluckdragon with a seriously pissed off looking avatar or one called luckypanda, give em hell!

and i thought it was just a fad...

alright alright, you win ecommerce, i'll jump on the ebay bandwagon.

these links and pics of these items are available on my deviantart account for your perusal as well, but here are the ebay links for my first items being sold. It'd be great if people could let me know if they think I'm asking the right prices for them or anything else that would be helpful to know. Thanks!

pearl mobius earrings
pearl mobius necklace
Royal Velvet choker

It takes so bloody long to upload stuff to ebay, I'm exhausted after just 3 things! oh well, it'll be enough for now.

I was sorry to hear today that my model for the corset has been afflicted with a horrible sickness. Due to these circumstances I have had to replace her with a pillow. Sorry Kate! Hope you're feeling much better soon!
To see the pillow in action check out my deviantart account here

WOOT! the whole meatroom job thing has come together, i start on monday and have pretty much all of this week off to work on jewellery stuff and getting my ebay and paypal stuff sorted, so mass amounts of YAY!

NOW, there is photographic evidence!

This page will take a while to load, the pics are pretty big. The chain parts on the top aren't really clear, but soon I will have some lovely photos of the corset being worn so that will help! Now I'm off to make and paint a box for it, and make a necklace and earrings set to go with it!

no photographic evidence!

it's hard to type when i can't pull the laptop into my lap because of all the chainmail bits that are sitting on it. I've been practicing some new techniques because my credit card has been approved (woot!) and i've been officially told that I (finally!) have the full-time meatroom job at work (wootwoot!) so in a few weeks' time I will be able to start getting in materials for producing jewellery pieces and other craft masterpieces to sell on ebay and etsy!! WA-WOOT!!

The title of this post refers to the fact the THE BIG ONE is finally complete!! It is a thing of wonder and beauty indeed, an object of such rare elegance as to stir the soul and touch the heart. It is bold, yet sublime, Colourful, yet subdued. It speaks of poetry and fine wine. Grace, art, culture and the skill of a genius in full flight combine to form a masterpiece of varied medium and unsurpassed glory. It is, in short, an Opus of biblical proportions.

And none of yers can say no different cos i don't got me batteries for me camera charged yet, so there's no piccies! bleah!

goings on at 4am

bleah. I hate 5 am starts. I may have heard a rumour which will mean i don't have to do them in a few weeks time, but i've heard no official word yet, so i won't get too excited.

Craft fair was cool, i'm flat busted now, but i have shiny pretty things with which to make stuff and hence money, as I have also been approved for a credit card! Woot! I just have to get my grubby mits on the plastic now and stuff like Etsy and Ebay will get started, along with PayPal. Don't have the money to start buying all the awesome stuff I've found on wholesale beading sites yet, but I will get there.

The big one is almost done! Just a couple of finishing touches which should be completed by the end of today or tomorrow at the latest! Woot! again. It's completely different to anything else submitted to the competition by anyone thus far. It's tested my patience and my bank account and my ability to stick to an idea, despite the fact that i don't have the technical knowledge/ skill to pull it off professionally. But, I'm happy with it, for the most part, and I've learned a lot in the making of it. Hope people like it! Today being the first of the month, but a sunday, i may have to wait until tomorrow to find out if all that voting you've all been doing on my behalf has won me the march voters choice prize. Thankyou to everyone who voted, it was awesome to hear people tell me they were pissed off that the site didn't allow them to vote more!! Hopefully this piece will make you want to vote more!

bleah, i hate 5am starts. g2g. bleach
