As I’m planning for my Around-the-Country-Train-Trip I’ve been thinking about how I want to document it. I have just downloaded an app for my phone to update my wordpress blog, so this is my first test of it! 🙂
…So, I might go to this plant sale. (Pic from phone gallery).
And I know two kitties who will be very unhappy with me while I’m gone! (Taken a new photo through the app).
I’m not sure how these photos are going to be placed in the post… guess we’ll find out soon!
So, my cousin gave me these cool glass flowers. But I’ve never known what to do with them. I embellished some jars (earlier post) and with the ‘left overs’ I decided to try to make a set of jewelry. This is what I’ve got so far.
The long series of chain and single flowers will be a necklace, the short series with flowers wrapped close to the chain will be a bracelet and the two single flowers will be earrings.
You can see some extra leaves and clumps of ‘berries’ I may incorporate.
I was going to attach these large hooped chains to smaller chains at the end, but they flopped around badly, so I went back and got more of this flat chain.
I’ve added some leaves to the necklace chain.
I like the earrings – which are kind of hard to see here. But I don’t like the necklace very much. Is that just because I don’t personally like lots of dangling things? Or is it too much? What might make it better?
This is what I have left over. I don’t generally like the berry things, but I do like how the light makes them glow. How to encorporate them?
I also thought I could use some extras to make barrettes.
Thoughts?!
After using Warren’s very handy flash to help map the buttons, I’ve assigned some buttons to the MAME software, hooked the computer up to the tv and hacked control panel and was able to load up the Golden Axe!
… I could only move up and left, but STILL … It’s getting nearly done!
Once I finish fixing the control mapping then it’ll be ready to be played. I do have some pretty-fying I want to do:
I have a baby shower to go to tomorrow, so I whipped up some new height charts. Lighting is bad, so it’s hard to see that the colors are dark brown and fuchsia.
And, we’ve been wanting curtains, so I utilitarianly sewed up some expanses of purple faux suede and hung them up.
all told: an hour and a half!
