hey gang,

it's been a bit since i've posted; work and real life have conspired to keep me from getting any jewelry done. fortunately i thwarted that evil plan and got two pieces done, one for a commission and one for sale/trade.

Anyone have any ideas on how to make this lamp or something similar to it? I would think that you would use starch or sugar water to make the yarn stay in shape and a balloon for the mold...but it's the putting together of the actual lamp and the yarn that concerns me. How much space do you leave between the bulb and the yarn? is there a clear plastic ball in there protecting the yarn that I can't see?
Help!

Lip Balm?

[samia.livejournal.com]

Okay, I've finally come up with a really good reciepe for a wax based homemade lip balm. I do a lot of sell/trade bath products, and would really like to add this to my repertoire, BUT Im stuck when it comes to packaging it.

I need some type of SMALL plain containers with lids, which I can decorate myself.

The only idea I came up with was those small circular mint tins.. but I don't think going out and buying a trillion packages of mints is too practical.

Anyone have any ideas?
