Yeah, I know--lame Michael Jackson reference. But it's pretty reflective of what I've been doing the last couple of days: beading everything and anything I see that I think I can replicate. I made this awesome cuff bracelet from copper, amazonite and smokey quartz chips, lemon chrysophase spheres and Swarovski crystals. It looks very cool and southwestern.
I was also able to sell about $200 in jewelry after church last night, so that was pretty sweet. The only problem is that I can't deposit any of it, since NDFCU doesn't have any branches in Alaska (go figure!) and I've stopped my relationship with KeyBank. So that kind of bites. But it does mean that I can be a little more independent of my parents' checkbook while I'm home. That is a very nice thing.
Okay, since I don't have anything else cool to write, I'm going to put a poem in here, just to make it look like this is a post worth reading. It's the result of an exercise called a Crown of Sevens, in which there are 7 lines of 7 syllables each. Lines 2 and 3 repeat, and the first line is also the last line. So here you go!
Verbally promiscuous
she wrapped her tongue around words.
She wrapped her tongue around words;
tied them in cherry-stem knots--
Tied them in cherry-stem knots,
not caring that they called her
verbally promiscuous.
