A friend recently gave me a bunch of his mom‘s costume jewelry. She had a huge, loud collection that I‘ve started to transform into suncatchers and wrist tethers for phones.
I‘m so, so close to the end of DUST OF DREAMS. While the series has featured rape from the get-go, this instalment feels ESPECIALLY rapey, with plenty of misogynistic overtones even when people aren‘t violating each other. That‘s soured me on the whole thing. #audiocrafting

ImperfectCJ Wow, I just put a bunch of costume jewelry aside to give away (my kids have outgrown using it for dress-up). I never thought about repurposing it like this! I might have to dig back through the giveaway box... 4h
xicanti @ImperfectCJ it‘s been fun to think of how the different pieces can fit together! I‘m really looking forward to making more suncatchers, since there are a lot of shimmering, translucent beads in the collection. 3h
SpeculativeFemale I keep thinking about making fun glasses chains out of jewelry like that. Haven't tried it yet. All my jewelry making supplies are in storage for the time being. Just no room at the moment. 🫤 2h
