On the Inside

As usual, I took apart a bunch of things recently looking for circuit boards. It's amazing where you'll find them. Even the most unsuspecting devices have them. My most recent dissections were of an old-school monitor and a keyboard. They were destined for the e-dump so I figured I'd scavenge for supplies.

I wasn't too shocked by the keyboard since I'd already taken apart a calculator (see this post for a photo). Here's a neat shot of the caps lock, num lock, and scroll lock lights next to the plastic sheets that lie under the keys.


The monitor really looks like something out of a space movie. At least the board is huge!

Congratulations Courtney!

Courtney of Daughters of Eve Blankets has won my blog giveaway. She chose to receive the Circuit Ray Pendant.Courtney sells blankets, cat toys, and jewelry. The blanket hems are double stitched and have reinforced mitered corners. The fabrics are really cute! Her earrings have pretty glass beads in a variety of shades. Be sure to stop on by!

You Call that a Studio?!

Yes, my sad excuse for a studio is no more that a poor little desk stacked high with supplies. What I’m not showing is the table half covered in more things, the buffet covered in even more stuff, and the utility closet that is holding about 30 plastic bins (the shoebox size as they call it) full of beads and findings. If you click the photo, it will take you to flickr where I have labeled some things. (If you were really that interested…)



Understand that I’m a college student living in a small apartment. If I had my way, I’d have my own room flanked with tables for working and hutches for storage!

Despite what some people call a creative disaster, I still manage to create! Here is my newest! Also pictured is a pair of earrings I made to match the Loopy Lei necklace shown in an earlier post.
