Squid's unlimited arts n craft n blah blah

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Those are fucking adorable!

You really should, if you have time, consider making a whole bunch and selling them on Etsy. I think they'd be really popular.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

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.

The spares I have are just itty bitty pairs, nothing at all fancy. You might be able to do something cool with them, otherwise they sit in this plastic bucket forever. Plus, what am I going to do with these earwires?

LOVE your pink and yellow calaveras, Squiddy!  And I love love LOVE my fuse jewelry you gave me a while back.  Blows peeps' minds when I wear it--"Are those---FUSES?!?"    I just smile and say, "Hell yes, and isn't it cool?"  Mah fuses is popular!

Lol, after much himming and hawing about being productive I thought I should probably do the Etsy thing.
All my friends said to, so I guess I kinda have to.
Besides I could use some extra shlubbin around money, even if it's just a little.

Nigel- you've convinced me. If they're just gonna sit in a bucket, that makes me think of how sad they must be, sitting there. In a bucket. Alone. Dang it, that's sad.
I'll use em!

I'll make you something pretty and send it to you, then you can send what you think might be a fair exchange of your "bucket leavins" and wire do dads.
Might take me a bit though.

Jenne- glad you like that stuff

I would totally pay you for a couple pairs of your felt earrings...I wish I had something to exchange, but card-making is about the only thing I've tried my hand at decently in the past few years, though I can sew, and I do small decorator projects here and there.  *thinks*  Oh, and I have made jewelry to some some effect as well...let me know!

Squiddy scares me.

Very nice work (looked at the whole thread)

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

That looks neat.
Whats it made of?

I took a 4X4 canvas, sculpted the tentacles on it with polymer clay, covered it in tiny pieces of torn construction paper, covered that in paint mixed with gloss paste and coated the whole thing in shiny. Theres also paint and pumice paste around where the tentacles come out of the "water"

Some of it's weird junk, but a lot of it is totally bitchin' and or adorable.
