I've lost track. These are rawther cute, I think. These are the same skull beads -- well, not exactly the same ones, but you know what I mean... don't you? I hope you do -- that my dog ate at 4:30 a.m. last Saturday morning while I was sitting here checking my email just before loading up the truck with my market bags and boxes. I could hear this strange crunching coming from the kitchen but most of the sound was drowned out by the two fans humming away inside the hard drive beside me here. I thought at first he was drinking water very loudly... then I thought is he eating ICE? From where? Crunching on a stick??? But... oh nooooooooooooooooo.......... I rushed in and he was scarfing down the skulls that I had tied into threes with fishing line and indestructable sharkskin price tags for the market. (Those price tags really ARE completely indestructable, btw.)
What do you say to a dog doing his doggy job eating bones??? It was my fault for putting them at nose level, sitting on the top of a bag of market stuff.
Here are a couple of the ones he didn't eat.
In case you're wondering, they all came out in the end largely intact (including fishing line -- I was terrified I was looking at a huge vet bill) during our walk last Sunday morning.
The earrings are for sale, $25 plus shipping. I can upgrade the silver-plated earwires to argentium sterling for $3 more.
Thanks for looking!
PEE ESS: From the Too Good Not To Share Department, a sign I saw today at a local greenhouse, Walter's, out on Highway 5 near 24: "We're so excited it's spring, we almost wet our plants".

Carved bone skull choker & 2 pr squiggle earrings
This is a triple skull commission. Hope the guy likes it. The trick is to keep the top skulls in one position while still being a little bit adjustable. I did this by threading 18 gauge wire through the skulls and then wrapping it top and bottom.
More squiggle earrings. Now if I could just keep them STILL I'd be laughin'.
Using zinc beads is something new I'm trying, to see how long they last. If they start to rust or corrode, then it's back to pewter and/orsilver. Alas, pewter is getting pretty pricey now.
