Well, here it is, Wednesday again. ‘Tis the time for us to share what we’ve got going on on our desks, hence the name What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sorry that I haven’t shared anything since last week. \u00a0It’s not that I haven’t been busy, but that I’m currently in the middle of several projects. \u00a0I seem to have high hopes and keep underestimating the amount of time it’s going to take to do these things, ya know?<\/p>\n

Anyhow, this is today’s desk. \u00a0(Click on the pic for a closer look.)<\/p>\n

\"2012-03-14-woyww-faux-opals\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last week I was working on faux dichroic, this week it’s faux opals. \u00a0I’m following directions from an old issue of Polymer Cafe, but I’m not thrilled with the results. \u00a0Some tweaking is definitely in order.<\/p>\n

It’s a good thing I checked on my blog today, as I found ALL of my plug ins had just disappeared! \u00a0Where’d they go? \u00a0Why’d they go? \u00a0I haven’t a clue. \u00a0I’m just thankful I’m a fanatic about backups.<\/p>\n

Let me know if you find anything weird or “off” on the site this week, something might have been missed in the restoration.<\/p>\n

As I mentioned last week, I’m also working on a new Etsy shop for my art jewelry. \u00a0It should be ready real soon… I hope. \u00a0lol<\/p>\n

Thanks so much to all of you who stop by every week and leave such kind comments. \u00a0Me-thinks I need to have a comment giveaway soon. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Have a great week and happy creating!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
