I'm heading to New Jersey to teach a mixed media jewelry class tomorrow at Suze Weinberg's studio. This is the project which I've shared here before. It's a recycled fashion magazine necklace with sealed paper charms layered with inks and paints. You can use any sort of paper that catches your eye and you can of course make this in a smaller scale if you prefer or use different shapes. I've been obsessed with paper jewelry for several years now and I imagine that obsession will continue!
Here are your weekly crafty links. I'm sad to report that the aforementioned grumpy phlebotomist actually injured my arm with the rubber tie, I don't know what the heck she did but it still burns. I'm officially registering a complaint. I don't allow people to abuse me. Period. So there.
Enough about that for now, I'll be back next week with more fun filled ideas! Until then...craft on with your bad selves.

Awesome necklace Margot! What cool things can be done with a magazine!
Trying to figure out how your blood sucker (LOL) hurt you with that tie? werid....I work in a clinic so I see them doing it all the time but usually blood drawing hurts worse when you have horrible veins and they have to stick you a couple of time.
Definately contact her supervisor because that is just too werid...

I know...weird huh? Jolene my arm still hurts today! I have tiny veins, but she had no trouble drawing blood...she was just really violent about it! The worst part is...I have go get more tests done and I'm going to have to drive forty minutes to avoid having to deal with her again!
