Projects

I have been living in a whirlwind as of late. It has tousled my hair and invited me to play in some of life's more serious quests. So in the mean time I have come up with little projects to help distract myself from the chaos in the other room.

I am in the midst of forming a band. I am learning the mandolin for said band and think it sings so beautifully. I have always loved singing and so I'm trying to teach my fingers how to keep up with my voice so I have a matching instrument partner. I have wanted to be in a band and travel around since I knew what both of those were. We've got five songs together and I'm praying it all falls into place nicely.

I have also devoted myself to two new crafts. The first... knitting... which is honestly something to do while watching tv. And the second... wire jewelry making. I am thinking of selling them online somewhere for a few extra bucks that will most likely go towards four new beautiful tires for my little honda.

These are little (unfinished) treble clef earrings that I did freehand (without a jig). They were my third little project I attempted.

This is a sword pendant I made for a friend's birthday. I've been planning/working on it for two months and did it completely freehand as well. This was my second project. The first was a little ring for my thumb. I may look into doing little three dimensional figures at some point. It's amazing the things you can come up with when try out new things.
