Hopeful Monsters

New silk pocket mirrors are now for sale in the Etsy shop! Two of the four designs are shown below, but all four are really lovely. The dupioni silk has a really textured sheen to it is much more brilliant in real life than in the photos.



This weekend I finally broke out my new PMC3 hotpot kit and tried it out. I made these earrings, which having not been sanded or polished much, aren't too bad for a first try at a new material. I was hoping they'd look bubblier, and less globby but all in all I'm satisfied that I didn't burn down the kitchen trying it. I can't wait to give it another shot now that I have a little better idea how things will turn out.
