dinosaur toes: what i've been working on

Last Saturday, I managed not to be so lazy and made myself get in the garage so I could drill some shell casings with the drill press. The only bad thing about making these bullet necklaces is that I want to keep so many of them for myself!

From the top: .38 shell casing with aquamarine, .22 shell casing with aquamarine, .38 shell casing with rutilated quartz (my favorite stone).

Tomorrow afternoon I'm meeting these two lovely ladies to have some girl talk and watch them get their newest tattoos. I've been trying to convince Chris that I can barely function without another tattoo, but he's not having it. Hmph (arms crossed with a frown on my face). Sharon (with the dark hair) is the tattletale and Haley (the blonde) is the one who would probably get tattled on. I'll just sit back and watch. What are your plans for the weekend?

I need to tell you about two blogs... If you like positive stories and random acts of kindness, you should definitely check out A Million To One. Also, if you're artsy and creative, you should sign up for The Notebook Journey! You'll get to decorate one page, then send it along to the next person (after seeing all the other beautiful pages, of course).

aquamarine is one of my favorite stones - so gorgeous!

Kassi, it's so hard for me not to do whatever I want because I'm such a defiant person, but I don't want for Chris to be mad at me. I already told him I may come back from Cali with fresh ink because Haley's friend Sam the tattoo artist wants to meet me and brand me! YAY!!!!!

I love those necklaces! :) And as for tattoos, I always admire them on other people, but I myself could never get one. Why? Because I'd be bored of it in 2 days and itching to cover it up with something else. :p

Love aquamarine, and I like the idea of using old casings. Very Unique.

Thank you for sharing my blog! :o) Your blog is beautiful, I love it! Tattoos are so addictive, I can't wait to get another myself.
