I've worked on a few necklaces and want to show them off now. I think I've improved alot since I first started. I think this is my best.  |

They're good. Real good. I could never make earrings or necklaces. That's more patience than I have. I can re-shingle a roof, I'm pretty good with cars too but not with patience work.

Those are awesome, Demona. Back when I was in elementary and middle school I would make braceletsand necklaces, just not as good as those. Now I'm into molding things out of clay and painting them, and I also like to paint wooden decorative signs, and wooden trinket boxes. I find it quite relaxing. I have quite a few interests, which is good because that means I'm never bored.

I do have a sheet with a summary, and just haven't tried yet. Speaking of wooden boxes, I've seen people who have done wood burning designs on them and it looks so cool. I just don't know what you need for it. |

I just don't know what you need for it. It was just one of those Lisa Frank kits, which came with a couple multicolored lanyard cords, an assortment of beads, an assortment of pendants, and stickers to paste onto the pendants. My necklaces were not at all like the ones shown here. When I got into middle school, I got more into making bead animals. As for wood burning designs, I've never tried it, and I'm not even sure how it's done. I just like to paint the boxes, and I usually just paint on my own designs. |

Those are nice Demona. My best friend makes jewelry in much the same way. She has a tiny business on the side for selling them.

I think there's a big market for that. You have to do it in a heavy tourist area to make big money with it though. Tourists eat that up on beaches or from sidewalk vendors.
It is cool though because no 2 would be the exact same.
