Well, I did actually do a set of floaters and I even tried a black and white clippie…but they’re not turning out as I’d like. I think I’m going to have to go with something a bit more unconventional. It’s VERY hard to make a clippie look anything but ‘cute’, and floaters mostly fit in […]
There really has been nothing to say, this month…until now.
I finally got my hair chopped off to a VERY short cut again (not that my hair was ever longer than just-above-the-shoulder) and it has increased my desire to make more short-hair accessories. Also, I turned 30 at the end of May this year, and […]
Or ‘floaters’, as I tend to call them, as it is faster. (Especially since I have to specially paste ‘appliqués’ so that the accent is present. I’m an Ontarian living right on the border of Québec…it grates my nerves to see a word that I know is supposed to have a French accent…accent aigu, in […]

I made a pair of pink opal topper sticks today, which got me thinking about how many people prefer stone to glass or vice-versa. Glass is clearer and tends to be more vibrant and shine brighter…but stone has a sense of real value, and seems more organic (even though glass IS organic, in that […]
I’m kind of happy with myself today. I wasn’t feeling like making hairsticks…I get tired of them once in a while…so I made a pair of ear-wraps and took a very old pansy I sewed together out of ribbon and turned THAT into an alligator-clip barrette. It’s a big thing, about 3.5 inches at it’s […]
