more stuff i made, 'cause i like it :)
these are silly little stitchmarkers that i made for the ongoing swap :) the top ones are made with shrinky dinks, which i didn't discover until my adulthood and missed out on them my entire childhood! as a kid, i thought it was stupid to get plastic and have it shrink in the oven. it made no sense: who cares if it got small? what i didn't realize is that not only does it get small but it becomes this hard thick plastic. it's wonderful! i love it. the second set of stitchmarkers are made with little microchips i gathered from discarded printer cartridges. i go through at least two to three sets of printer cartridges in a semester (8 cartridges in a set) so i have plenty of cartridges to throw away. my friend beth showed me that she kept the little chips that come in them. i thought it was a good idea and when my swap partner said she liked microchip jewelry i thought this was the perfect set of stitchmarkers :)

Oh I love those! I would wear them as earrings!!! Are you up to making me some for a lil trade between us? and if yes, what would you like in return?
If you make them for me, can you use sensitive ear earring hooks or silver?

Hmmm, what to trade what to trade... I am off to look at your wishlist, then I will email you Sandrita!

Those are so cute. I love shrinky dinks. I never thought of little mico chip stitch marks. Cool idea. I like 'em.
