30 Days of Creativity -- Day Thirty (Odds and Ends)

Well, I can't quite say I achieved the ultimate goal of 30 Days of Creativity, having only participated in seventeen of them, but with my track record of finishing what I started this was a very big step. I made something I liked on the first and last day, and even on quite a few of the days in between. I did stuff I wouldn't ordinarily do, and I still have a few more ideas up my sleeve for the near future! I'm hoping to do a few more fashion posts, but I still feel very silly doing them, so who knows if that'll happen. I'd also like to expand some more and talk about art or literature. Who knows!

As for day thirty...


This is, somehow, the first time I've worked with actual chains in my jewelry making adventures. It was certainly interesting! The cameo and setting are once again from Cathy's Jewels at etsy.


Also, I framed my collage!


Finally, my cousin modeling the beautiful necklace I painstakingly crafted for her earlier today:

Haute couture dinosaur

So my 30 Days of Creativity are up, but I'm going to strive to stay creative beyond that! I mean, it's the very least I can do until I find a new job, right? I'll be posting the last of my 30 days projects soon, but for now... Brought on by talk of dinosaur art and birthday cake, I simply had no choice but to make a dinosaur necklace for my cousin's birthday. Sometimes I am too high fashion for my own good!


Roar.


Yep, I got really sophisticated with attaching the dinosaur to the necklace. Wrapped some wire around that sucker. I tried to do something more complicated by stabbing a hole in it with a tack, but it was not a success. This dino just has a collar!
