I couldn't find wedding jewellery that I really liked anywhere. I'm not a blingy kind of girl, and all the "wedding" jewellery is just too . . . well, not me. I like big pendants and medallions, usually, but I didn't see anything that'd work in a store. So I decided to go visit The Beadery, a bead store in town that's closing down. There, I saw a design by a woman who said she'd make it for me for $120. "Self", I said (and I knew it was me because I recognized the voice), "I can make that!". Now, have I ever made jewellery before? No. Did that stop me? No. Should I be institutionalized? Probably. But I have to say, I think it came out really, really well. Oh, yeah. And it cost me $70 to make, out of Swarovski crystals, INCLUDING all the tools and stuff that I didn't already have. Yay me. :o)
P.S. Michael's has much of their jewellery making stuff on sale right now, including Swarovski crystals and stuff . . .
