when the weekend is no longer a weekend......

..............when the weekend is used for working night shifts to scrape some extra money together for that new pair of shoes....................
......................... i love them!!! so i have given up my only weekend off in months to do a night shift, make two pendants and paint a portrait, who am i kidding i like to be busy!!!

.............. so this week i have been busy, i made two broken heart charms, one aimed at a girl or a guy, each half is from the same heart, i am really hoping a couple will buy them, but im guessing some miserable goth full of woes will buy one!!!
.............. the can be worn around the neck or on the sleeve, however i would like to point out i do not recommend wearing a broken heart on your sleeve it screams REBOUND! but then we've all been their have we not?!

.......................... this starry piece is my entry into the august etsy challenge on flickr, the subject was magic, i went for a voodoo take on the whole magic idea. Its cute im very fond of this piece

..............so now to my weekend of sleeplessness, and trying not to cut my fingers of with the saw..................

Screwballs are no more!!!!............................

........................ when asking the icecream van man for a screwball my mr got a very blank look, well it turns out they are now called hedgehogs because they have FOUR FLAKES! four! now i love flakes but i can not eat four then enjoy my icecream and then chew my bubblegum without wanting to vomit!.................................................................................................anyhow i have been remarkably slack lately due to the amount of night shifts i have been having to do, i have be a zombie for about two weeks now,............................ ......................i did manage to make this lucky number 7 bracelet though, its the first piece i have made for a man apart from rings so i tried to keep it masculine without making it plain and boring, hence the leather cord etc, the recipient was pleased though, WAHAY!.............................

............................ i am also trying to build up more of a collection of jewelery to put on my etsy page which is what the above piece is about, a nautical star created with silhouetting and etching, and finished with a bead and skull detail on the necklace to keep it girly but to make it a little more badass :) ...................................
