project runway episode 2!

first, a small rant. i wandered all over petco. you can look at the materials i chose. they cost $5. all together. they are "bird toys." but they sell the same toys for $3 each and call them cat toys. how dumb! /rant over.

so i bought these bird toys. but the colors were just too much. if you've ever met me in person, you may have noticed i have a penchant for crazy bright clothes and patterns. so my jewelry is often monochromatic. i had to paint these. i figured they could dye their pee pads on project runway, so i could paint the toys.





i paired the black orb forms with some brass wire (in place of the muslin). and voila!






i want this necklace in metal. i am currently plotting how i make do this. (we will keep the fact that it's based on pet toys between you and me, k?)


also, here's a picture of one of my cats, lucy, checking her gmail today. she liked the new toys. even if they are for birds.



check out the etsymetal blog tomorrow afternoon for all the results!
