I have been playing with these upcycled LP cuff for six months. I really liked the way they looked, but I felt they were too plain. I wanted to embellish them with some of my resin creations. Unfortunately, I tossed 5-6 really cool cuffs because I couldn't find a glue that would hold or not smear and ruin the vinyl. I finally discovered epoxy resin!! This stuff rocks! Doesn't take much, either! Let me know what you think of this rock and roll cuff!

One Bad Apple Turquoise and Wire Necklace
My newest creation! I'm really proud of it. I think it will look great in the summer with a tan. I just listed it on Etsy this evening. Tell me what you think!
My Secret Garden Necklace
I made this a few weeks ago. I love the czech glass beads and how this necklace has a vingtage "June Cleaver" feel!

Blogging is Easy....
Blogging, like writing is easy, right? Just sit down and open up a vein, they say. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I've started a new quest this year. One to get organized, start a side business in something I love,(crafting jewelry), and lose weight and get in shape. The last will have to wait as I've been sitting on my ass making jewelry and working on my Etsy shop.
Opening an Etsy shop is not easy, I am finding. By the time I've made the jewelry, taken some decent pics, written a description, edited the pics, and uploaded them to the site, half of my morning is gone! Not to mention the joining of Flick'r, this Blog, and making contacts, hearting people, learning about postage rates, etc.. I'm exhausted! And to top it off, I don't know if anyone likes my stuff! I've made three sales thus far. I'm hoping my name gets out there and that people will remember the name of my shop. I think it's catchy, and it suits me. Strung Out & Wired, remember that!
Stay tuned as I continue my quest on Etsy, Flick'r, this Blog, and the whole weight loss, improving myself thing!
