Fini Friday! Momentos and Forging Ahead!

Hello Hello! 
Welcome to Fini Friday! 
I hope your week was fabulous and that your weekend looks to be even better! I've a few souvenirs from CONvergence to show and tell and a creation still growing to share with you today! 
First! The momentos!! 
  On the right, you'll find a paper Tardis!This was left in one of the room parties and I happily gave it a new home!  I have also now discovered a nifty new website!!! 
The pattern for this is free and downloadable at Cubeecraft.com! All of the patterns are created for the standard 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper, so these are ready to be cut out and assembled and Voila! Your very own Tardis!! Or Yoda! Or....well just go take a look! 
The other two bits will be incorporated into jewelry or a creation of some sort.. I'm just not certain what yet.... 
The guitar pick was actually used by Prince and was given to me by the gentleman the musician gifted it to. I was given the honor of hearing the story behind this guitar pik and will use that as part of the inspiration for weaving it into a creation! YAY! 

On to a creation in mid-growth! This is part of a "Pay It Forward" challenge on Facebook that artists chose to take up a while back. The first five folks that responded to the artists' status declaring their intent to create and send out free art into the world are supposed to receive that free art. I'm a bit late on the creation of these and I thought I'd show you this first creation-in-process...
It is to be a bookmark/necklace combination and has the fairy as the clasp. I'll be certain to show you what it looks like completed! 
That's it for this Fini Friday post! 
Have a lovely weekend! 
Ciao!

Whimsy Wednesday!! Guitar Piks and... Aliens!?!

Hello Everyone!!
I've had fun playing with some more unusual materials today and can't wait to show you what has grown out of this!!
I noticed a fellow artist who created necklaces and bracelets from alien head guitar piks a month or so ago and wanted to try it for myself!!! So! I found some alien head guitar piks (that glow in the dark!!!!), pierced them and played!
Here! Let me show you!

Title: AlienNation
Ingredients: Glow in the Dark Alien Head Guitar Piks, anodized aluminum, silver-plated surgical steel earwires(hypo-allergenic)

I flipped one of the earrings over so you can see the writing on the back.. it says "Roswell crash site".

I was important to me to keep the practical application of the guitar pik and so let's see how I did that with the bracelet below!
Title: Sightings
Ingredients: Ingredients: Glow in the Dark Alien Head Guitar Piks, Glow in the Dark Star Mood Bead, leather (dyed with lead-free dye, USA), sterling silver, anodized aluminum, lead-free pewter, gunmetal.

The guitar pik is suspended by a lobster-claw clasp and from the big orange ring. This means that the pik can be removed from the clasp and used to play, then simply reattached to the lobster claw! The same clasp is used to secure the bracelet to the wrist. The two beads you see near the knots surrounding the mood bead with the stars are free to move from near the mood bead to the sterling silver cord ends. I love weaving motion into my creations and so I was able to do that here!

Look for these in my Etsy shoppe by the end of this week!
See you Friday!!!
