More Not Food
I sprained my ankle and was stuck at home most of the day, so I dug up my bag o' beads and made this necklace.
It's cute, but my camera wouldn't focus in on the shiny metal. The circle is matte metal, like it was scratched up all over on purpose, and the ring is textured like it was beaten with a mallet. Cute, but I can't for the life of me imagine why boutiques are able to charge an arm and a leg for simlar necklaces. It's a chain attached to a ring on one end and a bead of your choice on the other end. Such a no brainer! You don't even need to buy or attach the usual necklace closures!

how did you sprain your ankle? That sucks.
I like the necklace. I never thought of making it myself though. Maybe I will since S and I just passed by a bead store on our way to dinner last night.

Make sure you rest your ankle well...

Looking around at craft stands at the farmers' market is a good place to get ideas for jewelry. Since all those crafts are handmade, a good number of them are really easy. Once you have a few ideas, you can easily replicate them at any good bead store.
