I'm going to be working on decorating a pair of shoes to have either a Doctor Who or Sherlock theme, I'm not sure which I want to do first though.

Sounds awesome ^^ I have been wanting to make some stuff out of polymer clay, but I can't think of anything lately... Anyone have any suggestions?

Just so everyone knows, I have been having some family problems and I am also finishing up school for this year, so if I do not respond to PMs, trades, etc. please be patient. I may have to take a short hiatus randomly, and I may not be able to warn anyone. I hope you can understand, everything is pretty stressful right now </3

Bracelets ans choker/necklaces mainly but earrings too, not that I've made any in years. I also tend to break jewelry up and fix it to different jewelry.
Made my own warrior beads too (From the film Electra)

Cool ^^ I love making bracelets and necklaces, since I usually wear those the most. I make a lot of Doctor Who themed stuff c:

I would do that on a different type of clothing, because that seems like you're treading on their faces O_o

For things like that see if there is sewing/material shop somewhere. They have all the equipment for this, or a crafts shop. In the UK there is a chain of shop called Hobby Craft. Do you have something like that if you are not in the UK?

You could go to Hobby Lobby (in the US, I don't know where else xD) or somewhere like Michael's or Jo Anne's (also in the US c: )

Bump c:

I have been making a lot of no - piercing ear cuffs with silver wire and several pairs of pliers c: I wrap the wire around a pen about the right size for my ear and make cool designs. Anyone else ever make ear cuffs?

I've worn ear cuffs most of my life. My mother had two from decades ago, and I first wore them. Don't wanna talk about what happened to them. Now I have my own, one for each ear. A simple ring with a cylindrical wrapped bead, and band with a scrollwork cutout. I almost never take them off, though they've had to come off more and more lately since I can't wear my headsets with them on. They're a part of me now.

I used to make my own jewelry, though in the past five or so years I've pretty much stopped so I could focus on what I already have. I'm the type who puts a lot of meaning into this sort of thing, so any jewelry I wear basically becomes suckered to my body and I never take it off. I can't just switch out whenever I want, which can be annoying since it seems like few other people are the same way.


I'm anxious to get back to my music box project, though it might still be a while before I have a moment to take a breather. The stickers are coming off my roll-up keyboard, it's quite annoying when I'm trying to plan out the notes and they're suddenly stuck to my fingers.
I was hacked. Not going to remake all my groups and such unless I feel like it. That's a lotta work. Don't bother with trades, everything's a mess.

Will offer reasonable overpay.

Note to self:
Reduce idiot level.
