Silly, So Silly

Patently Silly just doesn't get updated as frequently as I like, but that's okay. I don't think the world is quite ready for a prostate massager or even an exercise treadmill for dogs.

Things are okay with me. Work is crazy, but so much fun. Last year around this time, I didn't know that I would have the type of job that entails so many shift-on-the-fly decisions. My boss says I'll get used to this--I hope so.

He also remarked yesterday that some of my jewelry "looks like candy." Which is odd, because that's exactly what i'm trying to convey. That's my aesthetic. Instead of reaching of a piece of rock candy or a stick swirled in cotton candy, reach for a pretty, sparkling set of delicious earrings or a chunky bracelet. I guess I get as much from the feel of gemstone nuggets against my wrist as I do eating a J0lly Rancher. In fact, I bought some dyed red candy jade that looks like cut-up pieces of licorice at a bead show last weekend. I've been playing with my spoils from that show. If you have started making jewelry, bead shows have the best prices, particularly on silver findings.

I'm so glad you mentioned your jewelery - I have been wanting to ask you about your pieces. specifically, if you have anything (necklaces) in a smoky grey or charcoal colored stone. Can you email me at princessjeanneATgmailDOTcom? I've lost your email address, the only one I have is from your former workplace. :)
