necklace and menorah

so i made a menorah last week for chanukah. i made a menorah out of sculpy, thinking it was a great idea.
so, it melted.
every night it melts a little more.
here it is before chanukah started, when it still looked all pretty. i'll take another picture of it at the end of the holiday so you can see the aftermath.


also, my mom asked for this necklace...oh, a year ago? maybe more? i strung 6 strands of freshwater pearls onto 5 pieces of acuflex and then knotted them. the caps and clasp are gold fill. she thinks i still haven't done it and she'll never get it. i'm going to give it to her next week in amsterdam. shhh!
it's ok, though. she won't know because she refuses to read my blog. anyway, i think it's a pretty cool necklace and i want to make one for myself now. hm....


next week i will post from shosh's computer! haha.
