DIY Bracelets

So.... Its no surprise when I say I am bored. Now, is it?

         I decide to make bracelets but I'm so stingy with materials that in one day I only created one friggin bracelet. I went eye-shopping for bracelets. Looked at DIY and brand names. was trying to find something that was ooh-la-la or va-va-voom or... just something spectacular. 
        It was hard, seeing as I don't have dental floss (etc.) at the moment, picturing myself making those that did interest me. And if I did start making the bracelet, I got so indecisive!!!!! Do I do the button or the pearl or the small tiny bead? Which type of braiding? Am I sure I want to risk this much of this rope/thread/wire? Will it come out perfect?

        The last question sums it all up. I like perfection. Even as a high-schooler I couldn't BS homework. You know that homework that teachers just give just for the sake of giving and the don't really check it. like all they are looking for is a sheet of paper with mumbo jumbo on it.  Math teachers, especially, couldn't afford the time it would take to actually check for authenticity. But nope, little ole  me could not BS. I could only copy someone else's BS or ask them to BS for me.
        Unfortunately, I can't ask someone to make my bracelets for me because that would defeat the whole purpose of me wanting to make bracelets. 

Anyways, I found some really great DIYs using le Google and Pinterest.
  The first one looks so industrial, like it was factory made-that is until you see the threads. the bracelet is like a combo of the hard and inorganic with the bright and rustic.


Can I get a ne-on!

This one is a winner because I can put all my pretty beads together on one bracelet without a care.the brighter bracelet is a twist because instead of yarn a stretch of cloth is used.

This whimsical one requires a needle. I just love how airy it feels or looks.

And I found a plethora of bracelets. I spied DIY



The below pictures are some of the bracelets I made. I found I rather prefer telephone wire to thread when making the bracelet but not so much when its on my hand because it doesn't obey gravity as much. 




the bottom two have the wire the top one was made using the cap of an eyeliner pencil.

Naul's Memory of the wind

Upon my first exposure to the video (on Mnet) with out subtitles, I thought: the guy in the uniform was a Japanese invader.  Japan was bombing Korea. ( I thought of this only because i remember Japan having to do something with bombs. Like Hiroshima; only I switched it around and Japan was doing the bombing. The guy and his daughter were playing and the bombs started approaching. He ran with his daughter but the bombs were faster and the guy in the uniform were getting closer. A bomb came really close and the guy used his body to shield his daughter. (Not really plausible seeing as the human body is not that strong.) Then the Japanese soldier was passing by and aw the little girl and had pity on her. then he ended up liking her so he married her. (Its very illogical because he doesn't age. And I doubt the little girl would have willingly agreed to marry someone whose race, nation help bring about her fathers death.) The Soldier is sexy jumping of his horse; maybe the reaso...

Life leaves me wanting.

The way I've lead my life leaves me wanting so much more. For example the last 8 years of my life could have been so much more active, or so much productive, so much more aspiring, so much more of so much more... I could have set goals for myself experimented in more ways life, love, art and faith. In my life I could have been childlike, I could asked the questions I longed to ask save for fear that if I ask them it would seem as if I was rejecting God, rejecting religion. But that's just a part of what I could have done that is so much more. I could have been so much more. I can still be so much more. the entirety of the rest of my life lies  before me. The words that I say, every one of them, a new beginning. The much more that I desire, it's within my grasp. The questions I want to ask, God's ears are open I only need ask; I only need to look forward and test the waters by doing more; to producing more and to be more active. The entirety of existence has not end...

Drama love

I love me some Korean.......dramas. I am currently watching Faith: the Great Doctor and To the Beautiful You. Loving both a lot. Think I'm equally interested in both.......argh can't choooose. Don't make meeee. With Faith, I wanna see how Choi Young ( aka bait monster Lee Min Ho) gets out of the predicament he's in. He was made to look like a traitor who was wants to reinstate the previous king. I feel sad when I think about the king who is trying do hard to serve his country and friends and wife who question him daily. I hope he finds love and acceptance and that there are people who need and want him by the end of this drama. I also want to see what happens to the villain who now believes the plastic is Hwata's apprentice. Also, has General Choi and the other doctor guy fallen for the plastic surgeon? Does the queen have a thing for General Choi or is she really worried that if Choi dies the king will not have anyone by his side? And I am so ready for the fir...
