 Friends and I rebelled by not going to the end of year ball, we had our own instead, the theme being "anti".

I wanted to wear a ball gown, it's the princess in me, so here was my "rubbish" effort

I know I've seen countless posts/sites about stenciled onesies with characters or funny sayings.. but I can't seem to find them? Maybe I am misusing lj seek or the memories? Help.. please?

thanks <3

SS Oxidation Question

[djnurseallison.livejournal.com]

I have just begun to play with oxidizing my sterling silver using the egg method. (If you're not familiar with it, there's a great tutorial here. However, I have a couple of questions.

1) I oxidize my pieces after constructing them. But I find that sometimes my clear plastic and glass beads get darker along with the metal! Soap and water helps a little, but not much. With the glass beads it seemed as though the oxidation had gotten inside the beads (they were crackled glass). Is there something I can do to prevent my beads from oxidizing?

2) I recently bought some "sterling silver" earwires from Firemountain Gems. But they wouldn't oxidize worth a darn. They turned black in splotches, but mostly remained bright silver. What's up with that? Do they have some kind of anti-tarnish coating on them that wasn't mentioned in the description?

Thanks in advance, everyone! Behind the cut are some things I've been working on.

The $3 Light Box

[piratecore.livejournal.com]

I have a big light table my dad built for me that I use pretty often to transfer sketches onto other paper and stuff. Since I am going to be away from home all summer, I needed to think of something that I could use instead to work with. This is what I came up with! And for only three dollars! WOWEE

Materials used:

Wood shadow box
2 LED night light things like these ones
some tin foil
large bulldog clip
piece of grooved plastic
glue
small screwdriver
scissors
knife
sandpaper

I got the box and LED lights at the dollar store for a buck each, everything else was stuff I had laying around, and the plastic was salvaged from the trash. Bringing the cost of this project to a grand total of $3

This is how you do it!
