I made a bunch of jewelry today. For no real reason.
Boredom I guess.
It's all earrings, except for one set that has a necklace w/ pendant.











I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do with all this junk now.

Label them Steampunk, put them on Etsy, and charge $40 a pair.

Actually, what do you want for that last pair? The long ones with the gears at the bottom?

Shit, I don't know. What do you think is fair? 5 bucks?

Suu

Win. Now I have to find a magnificent card to send you a $5 bill in.

LOL a card will cost more than these earrings are worth.
just doodle something on a scrap paper.

I mean if you want I can make you something a little nicer.
To be honest these things are kinda small.

Mesozoic Mister Nigel

I kind of want #2 & #4. Trade you beads for 'em? Or, OOOOOOOHHHHH

A long time ago I bought a bunch of sterling silver earwires because I thought that I would make jewelry. It turns out, I am not so good at making jewelry. I still have a dozen left. They're kind of tarnished though. Trade you those & a few pairs of extra spacer beads I have hanging around?

Sir Squid Diddimus

Dude. Your beads cost WAAAAAAAAY more than these things.
Half of my parts are literally a dime a dozen. Like 12 for 10 cents.
That's not a fair trade at all.

I think I'm gonna do one of the craft fair things the ladies do here with this stuff. I'll put together some nice ones and just send them to you guys or something.

Heh, you should try making stuff out of dead fuses. The burn marks/melted wires make them look [insert vague artsy-sounding term here].

the phrase you want is 'steampunk couture', but yours is actually the shorter explanation :lol:

Sir Squid Diddimus

Sure, but I'd have to kill the fuse myself since the ones I buy are good ones usually, AFAIK they don't sell blown ones. Or at least I haven't seen any.
Also the lead wires have to be good cause I use those to make the loops out of.
Not a bad idea though.
I just like how they look like little glass tubes/cans. I wish there was a way to get lime green ooze into them.

Sir Squid Diddimus

I made these earlier and I actually LIKE THEM




They took a little while with the hand stitching, french knots suck, but I think it was worth the effort. Ima wear em to work tomorrow.
