Butterflies... everywhere!
I did this piece in sterling silver and anodized aluminum. I figured that since I still had some leftover of the colored rings, I might as well try. It worked out well, even though I'm not personally a fan of pink. It's not completed in the photo, though I did complete it. The photo is enough for you to get the idea of what I did. There's no clasp... you just roll it over your hand, onto your wrist.

I've been going to school lately and just trying to deal with life but I'm still doing some arts and crafts. I have a few new things and possibly some upcoming things, if I can afford the materials.

Another city builder

If you like building cities and don't have a whole lot of time but can check about once to three times a day, Nile Online is possibly the game for you! This is a browser game (played within your browser window), totally free (you only shovel out money when you want to buy more scarabs- which can get you extra things) and doesn't take a lot of time at once. When you first start a city, things will take about fifteen minutes to build but as you go, those times increase. Some things even take days but that's when you're already so far into it. It's fun, for a city builder. I'd say that if you like the sim games, you'll probably like it. Oh, there's a marketplace, where you can sell goods to other players, too. It's an mmo in that respect (massively multiplayer online game). You can also make allies of the other players online there and choose to trade with them. You can message people, as well. Here is where you go to get started! (I'm on there as mokumegane and my daughter is ckrella... yes, this game is alright for children to play, too, with possible supervision.)

My mini city!

Well, it's kind of interesting and I suppose even more interesting when more people visit your little city. There's this site online that allows you to build a city- only your city doesn't grow unless someone visits its webpage. As your city grows, you can do more things. You can build up transportation and other stuff. So, basically, you're the government of the little city. Here's mine.

The Valentine's Day Card

Yeah, I got it done! The kids will be putting stuff inside during their party on Friday. You know, my large nib wasn't really good for gothic capitals but oh well. I hope their teacher likes it, since it's for her. It's about 28" by 20" poster board. The red is paint and the black and gold are calligraphy ink. The smaller nib is a C-1 and the larger nib is about 2/3" wide. Well, here it is...

Valentine's Day!

Yep, it's coming up and soon! My daughter's class is having a party on Friday. I have to design the front of the Valentine's Day card for the teacher of her class. The card is being made with two pieces of poster board, they're put together with holes punched through on one side and ribbon tied through that and I'll be drawing/doing calligraphy on the front. They gave me two days to do it- woo!! I'll post a pic of it when I get it done. The kids will be putting some art they did in art class inside it, as well as signing it or writing a short phrase for their teacher. They really love her, so I'm sure they'll love doing this!

Entertainment!

In case you haven't noticed, I put my weather on the right and a puzzle towards the bottom. I tried putting the puzzle on the right but it just doesn't look good. Well, it does if it covers stuff in the middle... Anyway, I'm looking forward to adding more entertainment- even stuff to get your brains moving! :o Oh noes! For now, enjoy the puzzle and notice that I have a tornado in my weather thing. Yeah, it's tornado season... Luckily, they mostly pass us up by about ten or so miles...
