Fiction Friday

Sounds

Crickets chirp
The air conditioner hums
Boards creak as the upstairs neighbor walks across a room
A car passes quietly
Another car starts and sits a few minutes before pulling out
The air conditioner stops
Crickets still chirp
A car alarm in the distance goes off then is silenced
The upstairs neighbor walks back across the room
A dog barks briefly
A car thumps by with a loud stereo
A neighbors air conditioning unit starts
And the crickets still chirp

Work in Progress

This necklace is almost making itself! I started with a pack of random pink glass beads, tigers eye chips, and round tigers eye. I am putting just two or three beads per head pin, and putting the head pins together. It is probably the most daring jewelry I've done so far.















I have researched glass pendents. You know, the clear glass that you attach some sort of paper to and seal it? The scrabble tile pendants are popular now too, but I don't think I'll make those. I've also bought a couple of pendant bezels to make my own charms in. It doesn't look hard to do, just detail oriented. It looks fun! If not, I only have to make about twenty to use up the supplies I've ordered. LoL
