A crimp in my day -quite literally

Heh, every bracelet I've made in the past three weeks - I finish it with the clasp attached...and then notice I missed a spacer somewhere.

Cheers, Carla

I've got you both beat. Twice, I closed off a necklace with the wrong end of a clasp. Thus giving me two bars and no toggle!

-m.

I knew there's a reason to use split rings on the ends ... (or jump rings, for the jump ring people).

I actually managed to finish the whole thing without putting an extra twist in somewhere (much to my surprise).

Not feeling quite so stupid anymore now (in spite of that I left all my silver color clasps at home except some rather large base metal toggles).

Realizing I don't have all my supplies I put on one of the few clasps I had with me:

- And it really escapes me why bead makers think that peridot and olivine are different colors. Living on a volcano that emits that kind of matter: peridots consist of olivine.It's volcanic glass. -

Shoulders hurting again, this time from sitting in front of the computer for too long.

Now having taken up both wire wrapping and stringing I really don't know where I'll go from here, all I know is that it won't be chain maille.

Haven't done any dumb jewelry mistakes lately, but I'm having to face the fact that my short term memory is going. On Friday, I had to go to work without my purse because I couldn't find it. rofl. Fortunately, my keys are on the hook by the door, so I drove the 2 l/2 miles to work, obeying every traffic law I could think of. The penalties for having a license, but not having the license with you while you are driving are more money than driving without a license at all. Does that make any sense? That's NJ for you.

After I came home, I found my purse buried under some clothes I was sorting. I have since made a specific place to put my purse when I come home...it's too big to put on one of those eyeglass chains....which I probably will need to make soon as well. Of course, I hardly ever wear my glasses, so they are usually in my purse...ah yes...we've already covered that.
