I have another question :) Does anyone recognize this language? I keep seeing it on crochet and jewelry making sites and there have been many times I've wished I could translate it.

I can't do it from here, but go to the original site and copy & paste into Google. it will translate it for you and tell you what language it is translated from.

I got up too early again :( This is my favorite pin today. It's cute and it's easy! :) I'm going to cut out a silhouette for a flamingo and try it. Hubby has lots of old t-shirts - he won't mind if I mess one up... maybe lol.

no bounce no play -- other ideas. Maybe it you feathered out further so the flamingo was in an oval?

Almost everything I like, that I've looked at recently, is made from copper and involves wire wrapping which seems to be a steampunk thing but I'm not sure why it's considered steampunk. I really really like the look of wire coils and wraps. And I like how beads are attached by the wrap.

Is copper easy to work with?
I've never had a problem with it. Not all wire-wrapped jewelry is considered steampunk but a lot of steampunk has some wire-wrapped elements.

Oh... Ok... That makes sense, Thanks :)

I found out why my jump ring order hasn't arrived. I don't know doodly about money orders and I sent a USA money order to Canada instead of an international money order. They have a bank in the US but the money order has to be sent there and cashed before they can fill my order.

:rofl:

I wish I hadn't signed in. My t-shirt looks like somebody barfed all over it lol. Maybe simpler things like hearts and stars would work better.

Okay. I like this. I think it looks great. I'm thinking if you took the circles out instead of staying so close to the shape of the flamingo on the outer edge, you might like it better. Like starburst, with the outer circles getting lighter and lighter. I'd wear this. Good job!
