Life has got a bit hectic towards the end of this month but I've made a little jewellery, and also pushed on with some alterations to my blog design, so I'm pleased enough. I've also spent time browsing around the net in search of goodies to look at, and read, and share...hope you enjoy too.
Velcro necklace? An intriguing make-your-own-jewellery idea...
How to clean gemstones without destroying them.
On the subject of cleaning, how to clean silver without any really scary chemicals. An old post but a good one.
Wear the universe (OK, a galaxy) around your neck. Another make-your-own-jewellery post.
Fantastic youtube silversmithing tutorials (link via K S Jewellery Designs - thank you!)
A fascinating list of the top 100 jewellery sellers on Etsy. It may be over a year old now but it's still guaranteed to make you feel inadequate!
Yet another make-your-own-jewellery tutorial. This time a ring. I'll stop now.
And now a few non-jewellery links...
On the subject of blogging, a great set of simple design hints.
Some beautiful photos on a beautiful looking blog, from Folksy sellers organdie.co.uk
Wonderful desktop calendars are found here each month, although November's has yet to be revealed as I type this...
Speaking of desktop wallpaper, these floral Vera Bradley ones are stunning.
Also, via the same blog, a wonderful idea for creating a kind of pinterest for an individual museum.
More free desktop wallpaper? Okay!
Fancy a new font? This llama one (yes, you read that right) is quite the most unique I've ever seen...
Amazing styrofoam cup art. I thought it was a hoax at first...
Sweet (and reusable) gift tags tutorial.
Want to kind of spooked and entranced all at once? Go to the Land of Oz theme park, open for one day a year only...
More spookiness at a Bolivian witch market.
And one of my most practical finds so far. If you run Windows Vista then follow this simple tutorial to remove red eye on photos - so, so simply. Also, try this neat online gadget which does the same thing. Masterful.
Hope your month has been good. Feel free to leave any excellent links in the comments below.
