The orange post!

Well as many of you know, the first theme for our Street Team is orange! You know, I never even really liked the color orange (or yellow, for that matter) until the last couple of years. Suddenly I started buying clothes in those colors when previously I had been a purple-and-black girl.

But orange being the signature color of Etsy, I can tell you one thing I really do like...it might sound kind of dumb, but I really love seeing that little orange number meaning you've received a convo! Someone on the forums once likened getting a convo to getting a little birthday present. Seriously, it's true!

I do have some orange in my jewelery making life right now, though. It is a color I don't normally work with, so it's funny that we chose it as the first color theme. Here are some pictures of the in- progress project.

Plastic fake hematite-looking beaded "power" bracelet from the thrift shop, plus

nifty found items will be a funky new piece of jewelry.

It's going to be a bracelet. The orange plastic piece is part of a car turn signal cover. The black straps are stretchy pieces I had tucked away. Recently I have taken to using a lot of found objects in my work. I have quite a little collection built up of random items I've found out walking. Don't worry, they all get washed ;) I will post pictures when it's finished.
