Jewelry in the Works

I’m really excited about all the new jewelry supplies I got. I’ve been working mostly on pendants lately. I’m trying to make sort of off-beat cameos that have the look of Psychobilly Elegance. Hope you likey!

Rockabilly Swap!!!

I really lucked out! My partner for the Craftster Rockabilly Swap was a fashion design teacher, so of course I got clothes! Not only did I get a rockin’ new outfit, but I also got a new apron, ring and wrist pin cushions, a makeup bag with matching coin purse, some glitzy barrettes, makeup brushes, magnets, pedi clippers, headband, and pinup girl compact and tin.

here are some pics of the small-ish stuff:

I couldn’t resist doing up the rockabilly makeup. I would’ve sported bigger hair if I had the right kind of pomade.

Here’s what I sent to my partner:
