So, this sub-forum could use more action.
Like I said in an earlier thread, this is really a beginning hobby for me, and I haven't accomplished much at this point, sadly. I also have a shitty camera, but I've recently ordered a new one, so when I get back home to my apartment, I'll have my camera handy and will be able to take decent pictures of everything I have. In the meantime, I'll share the one (unimpressive) piece I've actually finished, parts of another I have planned, and some of stuff I've purchased recently from one site.
Here are some pictures of a bracelet I made my sister. My only truly finished piece. Its very simple, didn't take very long, and isn't horribly aesthetically pleasing, but I did finish it and it hasn't fallen to pieces yet:
Ignore my weird-looking hands (http://www.divshare.com/image/4221264-582)
The back. Again, ignore the hands ;-; (http://www.divshare.com/image/4221267-936)
The whole thing (http://www.divshare.com/image/4221268-85c). Hopefully, I'll be able to take some better pictures of it later. The camera I took this with kinda dulls down the color and shine from the crystals.
I has a gift bag to put it in eventually! These things are neat and cheap. I will start making actual use of them when I actually start making stuff regularly (http://www.divshare.com/download/4221269-6b0)
Really shoddy picture of the pieces I plan to attach to some gold chain. (http://www.divshare.com/image/4221341-169) These are Swarovski pearls and some gold filled beads on gold headpins. We shall see how it turns out soon.
This thread is kinda pointless at this point, because the pictures are poor quality and I haven't done much of anything. But there is one main purpose of this thread:
To people at FFS that I know, I'd like to offer you the chance to let me make something for you. No charge, as most of the stuff I'm doing now is kinda bad and for practice only, unless you want an actual (large) faceted gemstone in it. It is much much much easier to make something if you have someone in mind to make it for, and even better if they have certain colors, stones, and type in mind (bracelet, necklace, all beaded, pendant on chain, etc.)
So really, don't be shy. You don't even have to wear it or like it ;_; I just like to imagine I'm making these things for someone, at the very least. Help give me some inspiration. Post in this thread, toss me a PM, or catch me on IRC. I'll even make something for a friend of yours (although I can't guarantee you'll want to give it to them in the end!)
