Peter Pan

After I got the idea to make acorns yesterday, I got the idea to make a Peter Pan inspired necklace. The acorns represent the kiss he gave Wendy. If you like it you might check out my Wendy's thimble kiss necklace :)

Acorns :D

So happy it's Fall!! And in celebration I made Fall inspired Steampunk jewelry today. Check back tomorrow to see how the rest of this necklace turned out :)

I got an idea to make acorns out of wooden beads and bead caps. Really cute and easy to do.

Take a nail head pin and thread a bead cap, wooden bead, another bead cap, and a seed bead if you want onto the pin. After you have everything you want on it, take your pliers and wrap the wire into a loop and keep wrapping until you get the look you want. I chose to wrap it under the seed bead because it made it look pretty nifty. It also looks better if the top bead cap is rounded. For the bottom bead cap I used one that looked like leaves.

Anyone else been getting ready for Fall with cute crafts?

Oops moment of the day..

Made a sale today, and then realized I had sent everything to make it back home with my husband. Oops.. On the bright side it means I get to go to Hobby Lobby tomorrow :)

What oops moments have you had recently, and were you able to find a bright side? 

I decided I really like these, so I spent the day making remaking them for myself. After that I made some more, so you can now buy them separately in my Etsy store: http://www.etsy.com/shop/RandomWish. 

I had wanted to work on making a steampunk alchemy necklace, but then I remembered I didn't have what I needed with me. Hoping to get that finished when I go back home in a few weeks though :) The physical therapists decided they can't help me anymore, so I'm off to learn Tia Chi O.o Wish me luck with that one..

I've been really liking dream catchers lately, and started making steampunk dream catchers.

This first one I made for a friend of mine. It's huge, so if I make one like this again I'll probably turn it into an actual dream catcher rather than calling it a keychain lol.

I also made some earrings that kind of match this last keychain, but never ended up taking a picture of them. I had been having a really good week and wanted to do something nice for someone, so I threw them in as a surprise :)

I felt like taking a small break from steampunk and created this :)
I had a lot of fun making this. The chain is handwoven, and I pressed the circle to give it a vine like texture.

 Don't worry though I've got tons of steampunk related things swimming around in my head :P

Just finished making this as a birthday present for someone's grandmother. I hope they like it :)
