I will have the high res photos linked here shortly sorry mates!! Been up late hemming the world's largest skirt but I'll get right on it! 😬 EDIT: theclosethistorian.blogspot.co...

There are some wholesale places, but I don't intend to start selling my work. It's for Me! Being able to look at a picture of a necklace and figuring out how to make it is a divine gift! It looks lovely as do the earrings that you thought up. As for the switch up with beading, some sweet soul once said that a change can sometimes be as good as a vacation. I have found that to be true several times in my life. Blessings on all of your endeavors!🧚‍♀️🖖🎃🐈‍⬛🐓🫖📚✨️

I always love seeing your mastery with eyeshadow. Always so stunning! My mom is also allergic to a lot of eyeshadows. She's allergic to the soy lecithin and beeswax, which are used in a lot of makeup brands. When removing your makeup, do you use a makeup cleansing wipe or a cleansing balm? I may not be allergic to my makeup, but I noticed that when I used a cleansing wipe my eyes would be super irritated. After I switched to a cleansing balm I can wear makeup whenever I want no problem since the balm breaks up the makeup gently without having to scrub. The balm might feel better with your makeup sensitivity.

After years of using my fingers and (mostly) my fingernails to open jump rings, I finally bought a jump ring Ring. They aren't expensive and, provided I put it on, it really makes opening jumps easier. I don't know if you're like me, but I can have every dang plier I own in front of me, and I will still try to open a jump ring by finger. Wearing the jump ring Ring, I can feel stupid the first time I do that cuz, psht, it's on my finger, may as well use it. Then I just go ahead and use it for the rest. They can be found under Jump ring openers on the place named after the large river in South America. Lovely necklace. The three long beads on the drapes remind me of dinosaur claws. And that is sending me down a whole different rabbit hole necklace wise . . .

Very lovely. As someone who makes beaded jewelry a lot I would like to share a term for one of the techniques you used. The motifs you called quatrefoils are called Right Angle Weave or RAW. There are a couple of types of RAW which, of course, I can't remember at the moment. Also, did you know you can use different sized of beads to make some really beautiful effects? I have one necklace I made that started with 3mm round glass beads in the first round, then three 4mm rounds, and then 6mm rounds. It was a pattern I got a while ago. Oh, and did you know there are two very good bead companies that sell beads and beading supplies on the internet? I've dealt with both and find them to have a very good selections. They are Fire Mountain Gems and Potomac Bead Company. Fire Mountain has been around for 50 years and has a huge selection of just about everything. Potomac is has not been around quite as long and doesn't have as much of a selection as Fire Mountain, but they are just as good in different ways. Unfortunately, Fire Mountain doesn't carry charlottes. Potomac does, though I'm not sure if it's a very big selection. You'd be a better judge of than me.

I'm curious. Do you know the ingredient you're reacting to with your eyeshadow and foundation? Do you know if youre allergic to the pigment or an ingredient. As a fellow sparkle makeup enthusiast my mind is looking for solutions. Like if your skin managed the base mica powder better, then you could find a mixing medium and an alternate tacky base to make them work. I've seen some amazing duo and multichrome mica powders out there

Having to make a lot of my own eye pins out of other *stainless steel or titanium* head or eye pins, I feel your hand pain. I love the beauty of your work! Do you use an acrylic spray on your beads with a metallic finish so it doesn’t come off over time? Also, what brand of round nose pliers are you using to make your eye pins? I recently wore mine out after 10 years and they don’t make them anymore.

Truly stunning necklaces! The combination with the earings is just *chef's kiss*. Your make up (as always) looks awesome. But as someone with make up oversensitivity and from a family with allergies; agravating them can, and and in all likelihood will, make them worse. You migth end up with entirely new allergies this way because the immune system is a very weird thing. Next thing to flare up migth be the very common nickel allergy, which is the thing keeping me from all the gorgerous costume jewelry. Please do not fuck with allergies, they will just fuck you over.
