Time flies!

Time flies!  I've noticed that more often than not, some bloggers start their post by "omg, it's been... days since my last post".  I'm starting to follow the trend.  Are we all feeling guilty?  I am!  Not going to make any promises for the future though, I know that's scary and dangerous.  Ha ha!!

So I haven't made a lot of things lately, because I've been otherwise busy taking an exam to become a teacher and.. passing it with flying colours.  I'm so proud of myself, I could yell.  Wait, that's exactly what I did when I got the results.  I got 11.5 for the written part, 10.1 for the oral interview thingy.  Not too shabby. Especially considering that I had barely done any prep work... 'cause of course, when I was told that I was "admissible", meaning I'd gotten a good enough grade on the written part that they wanted to see if I was for real and interview me (lol), I was already snowed under with translation work, and only had a fortnight to prepare.  So yeah, enough showing off, I'm just happy I passed.  I think I was quite lucky.  So I may or may not become a teacher come September.. depending on WHERE they want me to teach.  The French system is quite weird. More on that later.  



I made those for a show that turned out to be a disaster, sales-wise.



Those I made yesterday, just because.


This one too.  I love bangle stacks.  No kidding!

This one is very summery.  Vibrant colours.  Lightweight.  Go buy it.


I also finished this bracelet that I'd been working on for ages...  it was just missing the clasp.



Awwww look at that chubby hand!!!  (the bracelet is too small for me, too big for my lil girl, but you can't tell on the pic :))


And last but not least, I've been working on my wedding necklace.  So work in progress.

    1. Thanks Jiorji :))))) Yes I'll be teaching English in secondary schools (is that how they're called? for kids from 11 to 18 years of age)
      Teaching is a good job in France, lots of benefits. Also, way more time for me to make jewelry on the side.
      I hope they give me a position not too far away so I can accept it. !!
      Oh, and cabbage rolls? What are those? Recipe!!!

    2. Of course you should take credit - I've been using that technique a lot! These days I mix gold patina paste with gold leaves, I find it easier to work with. I realized that it worked really well on wood, too. woohoo!!!!
      You'll get pics of the finished necklace, promise. I have two weeks to finish it. Eeepppp.
