So, about a month ago, I headed with [livejournal.com profile] elenuial, [livejournal.com profile] jingsaw, and [livejournal.com profile] buddhagrrl to the Scituate Art Festival, where they had a flea market. I scoured the jewelry section for vintage finds and things to cannibalize when I stumbled upon a triple strand Aurora Borealis-stone necklace, which is a goldmine of my favorite beads to work with. When I picked them up and felt their weight and looked at the fastenings, I asked the seller how much he wanted for them. I got him down to $20, then scurried off happily with my find.

Pssh. Not my fault he didn't know that the necklace was almost a hundred years old.

Eh, they still make borealis stones at beading companies nowadays, but they're not good quality or even well-cut. Usually they're just some combination of glass and plastic coated on half of the bead with iridescent paint. They're not real Borealis, just pretty fakes. So whenever I see the real deal, I get excited.

So, rather than let myself go crazy using all of the beads the very day I got them home, I made myself wait for a little over a month so that I'd be less "ZOMG USE THEM IN EV'RYTHANG" and broke them out for the first time yesterday.

Pictures under the cut! )

I love this piece. It's the stones I love (in the center is a Swarovski), a shade of silver I love, and sits at the base of the neck beautifully. It's also so bright that the stones kept blowing out half the pictures I took, and those few little stones cast rainbows around the room. =)

Okay, so here's my list so far. Nothing's jumped out at me yet as far as "ZOMG must play!" so I'm rather apathetic in my choices right now.

Friday night:
Already played in Story Wars. Tam Lim looks interesting, and I'm a sucker for Grimm tales. Also, Redemption looks promising.

Saturday Morning:
I'm guessing Limbo for this one. I've already played in Supervillain, and the others just don't jump out at me.

Saturday Afternoon:
I get the feeling that I'll be playing in Life at the Securemarket. Dog talks it up a storm, and a game's bound to be fun if the writer's that into it. =) I'd like to see what he came up with.

Saturday Evening:
Running Leash. HOLY CRAP SO MANY PEOPLE WANT TO PLAY IN MY GAME. It makes me so happy. ;_; If you do want to play in it, I'd suggest signing up in the first round, because I know of at least 50 people who have explicitly said that they want to sign up.

Sunday:
Ehh, thinking of just chilling. No games really jump out at me. AND I like my sleep.

Anything anyone want to sway me on? I'll likely sign up for games that I know other people I know and like will be playing in.

SO!

The holidays are coming up. So are many people's birthdays. Last year, I got swamped with people asking me to make jewelry as gifts. This year, I want a system for it, damnit!

My commission list can be found here. Comment or email, and you will be signed up. There are 10 spots total. When I finish something, that name will be taken off the list.

Oh, and to keep people from hogging spots: after you sign up, you've got a week to talk to me about what you want. No just taking up space. =)

The earlier, the better. Even if you want something for yourself. Jewelry, collars, costume bits, whatever.

I HAVE A SYSTEM NOW.

Leash filled half an hour after signups opened. Holy lederhosen, Batman!

I can count on one hand the names I don't recognize.

MY PLAYER LIST IS MADE OF AWESOME. There are so many people that I love seeing in character and I just think are fantastic players in general that signed up for my game. I love you all.

I can't wait to keep writing.

(If you still really want to play but missed it before it filled, email me.)
