Earrings and Corkboard

So I made these earrings:

And corkboard:

I had bought a pack of 4 small squares of corkboard. Then cut up an old tank top I wasn't going to wear again. Used some kool aid to dye it (I know, not a good dye for a cotton material, but I wasn't going to go buy something. And it's not like it's clothes that will be going through the wash, so I thought it might be ok.)

I still have to work on the keeping it on my wall part. They fell immediately after I took the picture. But it's a bit late for me to be hammering on a shared apartment wall anymore.

Catching Up

I got busy with work and school and forgot to update the last several days. So here is the catch up of my thing a days for the last couple days:

frames
Painted these plain wood frames I got. (only $1 each, add a layer of acrylic black paint mixed with water. Now I got four black picture frames for only $4(

I wanted to try some abstract painting- this is one of the paintings I came up with:

(the same as the one above in no-flash vs flash versions. I have no scanner unfortunately.)

Abstract paintings have unfortunately never been a strong area for me.

Day 6 Necklace

I wanted to make a Chakra necklace but I didn't have yellow or "indigo" beads (or the purple is "indigo" and I'm lacking a true purple? I hate the "indigo" vs "purple stuff), so instead it's just a rainbow-ish one:
