Gold Earrings

Gold paint chip earrings. Punched circles out of gold paint chips, then cut down the sides. Added accents on the back. Drilled holes for the jump rings. Added amber beads to some head pins, added them to the jump rings, and finished it with simple gold hooks.

Silver and Blue Earrings

Made using textured paint chips. They were punched into circles, then glued. The back is painted gray. Small holed were drilled for the jump rings, and then finished with some simple silver hooks. Gotta say I love these ones. They're simple and elegant (and they reminds me of Sailor Moon <3 ).

Feather Earrings

Trying more stuff with paint chips. So punched out almond shaped, glued them together, then cut the jagged edges, painted the back pink, coated the front in a clear polish, drilled holed for the jump rings, added seed beads to chain, made simple silver hooks, and tadaa!

Blue Ombre Earrings

Ombre earrings! Made these using paint chips. My first attempt at paint chip jewelry. Used 3 blue paint chips, punches them into circles, glued them together, painted the back, coated the front in a clear polish, drilled little holes for the gold eye pins, then made simple hooks. Voila!

Necklace

Chain, ribbon, beads

First try at something like this. Looks cute. I'd like to try it again some time :)

The Empty Bed

The Empty Bed (2014)

I’ve always had a queen size bed. As long as I can remember. And I remember only ever sleeping on one side.

With yearning, I look over at the empty spot, dreaming and hoping for the day when I’d have my partner here with me. It’s like that spot on the bed had been saved for that person my entire life. And after heartache, it feels like that spot will be vacant forever.

In the morning he left, and as night reclaimed the Earth I found myself alone again in my corner of the bed. The tears don’t make wishes come true. The pain doesn’t bring anyone back. That half of the bed will remain empty indefinitely, and I’ll cling to my claimed side and resume hoping.

Where are you? I’ve been saving you a spot.

I like the way it turned out :) I think the decision to use another colour than black for the lines helped. See it larger here.
