Graveyard Glitter

Finally, after months of this project, it's time for the most well known Pokémon of all. I didn't have the necessary lightning bolts, but I bought some from ebay before the quarantine even started. This set took a lot of arranging, rearranging, and completely changing the plans I had for it, but thanks to the quarantine, I've been doing a lot more of everything. Unfortunately, I had to realize that my mom's tablecloth isn't as good for pictures as the naked table was. Oh well. Pichu: To start the trend of baby Pokémon being listed with their evolved forms, I made these earrings to represent Pichu. The lightning bolts were bought from ebay, everything else from Hobby Lobby. Pikachu: Made entirely of beads from leftover projects, some wire, and a magnetic clasp, Pikachu isn't as cute as it is on TV. Since my point is to make Pokémon jewelry without using their images, I still passed that test. Raichu: I used the last of the beads from

Several things kept this one from being done on time. I didn't have enough purple beads, and then I got the flu, and then I had other things to do. But thanks to a shopping trip and then the quarantine, I got to finish it after all. Ekans: I got the purple beads I needed, and some yellow for the Pikachu family I knew I would be making next. All of it came from Hobby Lobby, none of it from clearance. Arbok: For this one, I went back and used some beads from another project. The big black beads were from when I made my sister's friend a necklace based on her Dungeons and Dragons character, while the red beads are the last of the beads I bought for Charmander and later used for Butterfree. The yellow came from Beedrill and Pikachu. Even though I'm fighting as much boredom as everyone else during this time, it's enough to get me back into blogging. I'm not usually an optimist, but that looks like a bright side to me.
