Aaaaaagh! My Arm!!!!

There are at least a million ways to avoid housework, and the studio isn't always where I feel like screwing around. Case in point: after agreeing to lend a hand face-painting at the elementary school's costume-sale fundraiser, I got tired of bats and pumpkins. Started craving something a little creepier. Went to town on myself. Not until I got home!! Too much for the under 10 set, at least, according to the school's Halloween rules (no blood! no weapons! no wounds!!)... I am ashamed to admit I got the ulna and radius reversed, though. So close!!!

More Little Shiny Things

... little earrings for my friend Kristin, which she requested after seeing the ring for my niece on FaceBook... so there IS a use for FaceBook besides wasting time-!

Also finally got a memento mori made for my nephew (containing my brother's ashes). I like the embedded iron wavelength- trying to suggest to the young guy that his uncle might remind him to be strong if for no other reason than that he is lucky enough to still be around...
