My recent obsession= Making Jewelry!
My even more recent obsession= Antiquing...
I love this solution because it has turns shiny gold into a aged brown. It's fun and easy to do, just make sure you use plastic containers!
Step 1: Place item in bath of solution and leave in until desired color is reached.
Step 2: Remove from solution and place in a container of water to stop process. I use a plastic fork to do this and not my hand.
Step 3: Use steel wool or an SOS pad under running water to remove most of the finish and create highlights. Dry on paper towel.

Who is that cat? I mean, I know you guys have a new friend, but it's just so strange to see someone other than Louis perched on your desk. Is it just me, or does Dinah have a really smooshed face? Or just a funny haircut? very cute. Today, Carrie's cat Halilah did the leaping attack thing to a piece of lavender on the kitchen floor and it totally made me miss Louis. man I miss that jerk. I can hear him whining and growling even as I type. what a guy!
Dinah does have a really smooshed face. That's how she rolls. Louis misses you too and your deep tissue masages.
