Playing for More Time...

According to the place that Walter ordered the lead tape from, I have one more day to wait for the package to arrive...

So I decided to play for another day.

I got out some of the jewelry findings that I ordered with my Christmas gift certificates last year...

The rings on my fingers are for ANYBODY that wants to make a ring.  The ones with a flat circle are used by just gluing something to the surface in place of a setting.  The ones on my middle finger are used with beads and such on headpins.  They are strung on and then attached to the little rings.  These are all adjustable. One size fits most...
 I also found a kumihimo cord that goes pretty well with my favorite lizard.  The other two pendants are just odds and ends strung together and put on antique brass chain.
The owl earrings are my favorites of the ones that I did today.  The flowers at the top are the end of the ear wire.  I unbent the wire and added the three beads and the owl to each.  Then to complete them I just added a little fob at the bottom with a head pin and three beads. 

Fun to make and fun to wear.

About the time that I started writing this, Walter came in with a package... Yup!  Lead tape.  No more excuses!

By the time I finished the owls, Tessie had taken over the other findings...

To quote her..."Does this ring make me look like a queen?"

I am afraid that I had to say no to that... She simply looks like a tiny person sitting there with a ring on her head...

Please don't tell her that she looks like a queen.  Her head will swell and we won't be able to live with her. 

I am going now to open the package... Now maybe tomorrow the mirror and window will be finished!  I do hope so!

See you then.

Love those owl earrings! You certainly had a productive day, Casey, making all those pieces! I think Tessie looks cute with her ring crown but we can keep it among ourselves so she won't get a swollen head.

Don't tell Tessie, but I think she'd look stunning in a crown like this one: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/126523070756588775/

Nikia Angel's beaded finger crowns are something that my own dolls often drool over.
