Brown paper can stay as-is, or it makes a fantastic canvas for the family artist on which to add manly ventures. Coarse twine combines the fantastic combination of utilitarian functionality and all the tender smoothness of barbed wire. For bonus points, a decorative knot (the one here is a lanyard knot) takes the place of a bow. </div>Briehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16514677635490133428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123020261283341482.post-3416469968576148052013-08-16T21:16:00.001-07:002013-08-16T21:16:48.679-07:00Bubbles, and taking a backseatMy creative muscles have been flexing lately, and while my nails ate still getting some attention (as in today's bubbles), they're not the only thing on my mind. <div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZtzpIEktGRyNhAInUonjNG5hxpUIJ_sZBhX2zMjePBmy1el9ClcI4p1PluV2Jd9MOu9FeSoIUwypm4I_cGzdiJOcoZR0FIiv6tzcesVHlB-Tu1aNjZxQei5jEp5Ijn6NO4Shu_6e6KTzM/s640/blogger-image--1794092170.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZtzpIEktGRyNhAInUonjNG5hxpUIJ_sZBhX2zMjePBmy1el9ClcI4p1PluV2Jd9MOu9FeSoIUwypm4I_cGzdiJOcoZR0FIiv6tzcesVHlB-Tu1aNjZxQei5jEp5Ijn6NO4Shu_6e6KTzM/s640/blogger-image--1794092170.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>So while nails will remain a major feature of this blog, they're going to start having some company in the form of other crafts I've made.

While I'm willing to change out my own polish for experimentation on a pretty regular basis, I'm pretty sure there's still a limit on how many times a week you should paint your nails. <br />

Enter creativity. I've recently opened a store on Etsy for the purposes of selling the jewelery I make with beads, gems, and charms. And Polymer Clay creations.<br />
<br />
Not that I've gotten around to actually listing anything, yet. But I've made the store, so that's a step...<br />

In the process of trying to organize an over-sized polish collection, I've begun accentuating my scrapbook pages with little touches of shimmer from polish and then realized just how awesomely it could be used on pretty much anything. And I'm going crazy. Nail polish is an enamel. It dries hard, and it's not sticky, and it adds color and shimmer and interest to everything. <br />
<br />

So now, in additoin to the jewelery I make with findings, gems, beads, and findings, I'm going to be selling beautifully painted re-purposed materials. These giraffe earrings were inspired by my BFF, who loves giraffes and would never ever ever in a million years be caught dead wearing anything as crazy as these. Or as fun. She's just stodgy that way ;)Briehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16514677635490133428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123020261283341482.post-73548819502008392262013-04-14T11:32:00.001-07:002013-04-14T11:32:27.329-07:00Peacock patternMy inspiration has been flagging, of late- and then, I saw these! <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHVp886tQp89sZSKk6TdBpQJjO0_htfSExhGl10K6Za9K33ARaX5MAuMYn2DKa717A7Oj9haArl2VuByXkNUrLaFNLmfoBwxsMRNeRj1GYRgePbDaUsi3XbaRv5Zs3XKJHaD_HBmmtRoKs/s640/blogger-image--1612702680.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHVp886tQp89sZSKk6TdBpQJjO0_htfSExhGl10K6Za9K33ARaX5MAuMYn2DKa717A7Oj9haArl2VuByXkNUrLaFNLmfoBwxsMRNeRj1GYRgePbDaUsi3XbaRv5Zs3XKJHaD_HBmmtRoKs/s640/blogger-image--1612702680.jpg" /></a></div>Briehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16514677635490133428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123020261283341482.post-42414180186912921932013-03-19T13:26:00.000-07:002013-03-19T13:26:22.099-07:00Saint Patrick's Day nails. Only a *few* days late.I seem to have missed St Patrick's day. Well, didn't miss it. I just didn't post There was beer involved, and I was wearing green... and then yesterday there was a doctor's appointment... Anyway!<br />
<br />
I had some fun with nails for the occasion.Some tiny punches have very few places they seem to fit. But a field of four leafed clovers? Yeah, that has a place. <br />

Bright & funky green is fantastic. But when it's alone, it's kinda hard to match.</div>

Enter the ombre! Ok so green and a royal blue to lavender gradient may not be the basis of all your clothes, but anything that doesn't match <i>anything </i>is bound to go with <b>every</b>thing, right?</div>

Funky, fun, with a lot of *pop*, these Valentine's nails are ready to catch the eye of your Valentine. And anyone else who doesn't have impaired color vision. They're Bright! <br />
<br />
Inspired by Robin Moses, it's a great, simple look for the holiday. Not exactly something you'd be likely to wear much past the 14th, it's still great in the meantime ;)Briehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16514677635490133428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123020261283341482.post-80832723531862283562013-01-23T10:45:00.002-08:002013-01-23T10:45:42.553-08:00Valentine's to Halloween in one easy stepFastest, most awesome manicure makeover ever.

What's not to love about Valentine's Day? I mean, besides being drowned in blood red and pepto pink daily for almost two months. <br />
<br />
Oh, and hearts and little doves all over everything, I suppose.<br />
<br />
And the lace doilies everywhere for no apparent reason...<br />

I wish I could claim this as original, because it's such an awesome design. I wish just as much I could remember where I saw it so that I could give credit to the creator of this fantastic design for winter. If anyone stumbles across a blog showing this design being created, please let me know so I can give credit where it's due! In the meantime, I'm just going to enjoy my beautiful blue blooming nails :)</div>
