I mentioned last Tuesday or in the last post that I bought this mix pack of two-toned rubber bands. I was set on making another Elenlote bracelet using the red-and-gold and white-and-gold bands, that no headache could stop me. 

 

Here they are:

 

 

 

Well... I did stop after two blooms and two broken bands that night. And I continued the rest in the morning. However, I didn't have enough gold metallic bands to complete the bracelet >_<

I would have been frustrated if I didn't have another idea for a second bracelets. See, the blue-and-silver bands which I neglected made sure I noticed that combined with the white-and-gold and silver metallic bands, I could make a pretty bracelet for Erelinde.

Erelinde is kaotic312's original character in the Kiliel fanfic, Stolen Heir. The same fanfic Elenlote originated. She has pale blue eyes and white blond hair. AND a certain blue-eyed and golden-haired prince was determined to court her. So the colors were perfect.

Erelinde's craft work involves knotting and Dwarven patterns are usually geometric, so I thought YarnJourney's celtic knot bracelet would be nice for Erelinde. I wore it and looks dainty in a wrist. I had a hard time capturing it  though but here's one of the better captures: 

 

 

I would have to go back to the department store on Saturday not only to complete the Elenlote bracelet, but for the blue-and-silver ones as well and try different designs :3 Might as well make bracelets for Brunere (i have violet bands; lots) and Sealyn.

Aside from the Elenlote bracelet, another work in progress is my gift for my sister. It's her birthday tomorrow and I'm making earrings from polymer clay. HA! I know. The only other polymer clay creation I made is Kili's runestone. 

 

 

So what was I thinking trying to attempt this:

 

 

I don't have time for a bracelet. I am aware of my limitations. So I made the earring version of this which I dub: Roses in a Mentos

 

 

I just finished baking (toasting) them in my oven toaster. I'll just take another picture tomorrow. My camera is not good when shooting at night.

I spent the ENTIRE afternoon conditioning my clay. The tutorial video looked easy to follow. I guess it is. But it was so hard to make the roses. I gave up on the white flowers. And the base... I couldn't make it thin because of the eyepin.

And here you could have an idea how messy I am as I work. LOL. I start every crafting session by organizing my tools and putting them in order.

Then towards the middle, I would clean up because I can't stand the clutter around me. 

But see how I didn't mind the mess after that:

 

 

Ahaha, yes, that's a finger loom. It's my substitute for a rolling pin! xDDD

 

I'll post decent photos tomorrow, and tell you my sister's reaction. I hope she likes it. 

I just have one tiny problem.

I don't have the earring... the part which gets inserted into the hole.

I only have the charm WAHAHA.

Maybe I'll make something out of polymer clay for the anniversary. Two days left... HAHA.
