so lately ive been obsessed with finding a way to be creative. i browsed this website for houuuurs and decided i want to start making jewelry. i want to use a lot of materials like shrinky dinks, beads made from all sorts of things, ribbons, felt, all sorts of things. i have practically no experience what so ever but a lot of ambition. i would totally appreciate and will probably seek tons of advice. today i tried making a necklace... just kind of out of what i could find around the house. i printed a picture of my favorite author, charles bukowski. i cut it out carefully and attatched it to a piece of a manilla folder i also cut out. after that i kind of laminated it with packing tape, deconstructed a necklace or two, and half assed the hell out of it.
im also wearing a necklace that i "made" over the summer. its a chain with a tiny seashell from a local beach in MA and a small silver whale.
