Craft #15: the beginning of another die necklace and an apology

Dear Bleeps (Twitter people call their followers tweeps, QED blog followers are bleeps)
Firstly, I'd like to apologize for my unexcused absense. I took an impromptu trip to NYC and it pretty much threw off my schedule. But now that it is officially July, I plan on starting this project f'reals. So here goes.

I started another die necklace today. Due to overcoming my summer ennui, I only got about halfway through. And also, I can't seem to locate my USB/SD converter, so you all will get pictures tomorrow. And the day after, and the day after. Because I am determined!

Craft #12: Die necklace - WIP

Today's project is a work in progress. I put it together with some beads I had lying around, but I'm not sure how I feel about the seed beads I used for the necklace part. I didn't attach any clasps to the end of the wires, so I might scrap the whole thing and redo it when I get some new beads.

I'm finding it hard to get accurate colors in my pictures...I'm not sure if it's the lighting or my camera or both. Any suggestions for better photographing?

Craft #11: Dice earrings

Okay, so this is a project I've been wanting to do for...I don't even know. Over a year. Finally, I caved and bought a cheapo drill at AC Moore today. It works well enough. I pretty much got what I paid for. In the process of making these, I learned two important lessons. 1: Drills melt plastic. 2: Melted plastic gets stuck to drill bits. Who'da thunk.
