minifan Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 O.K., so after seeing a bunch of eye candy and inspiration...and super high prices on the store bought stuff...I'm venturing into making my own light fixtures for the Bostonian... I'm a big jewelry maker...I actually made all 6 of my bridesmaids jewelry, in addition to selling pieces and custom work for people...and after doing some digging I found that it's almost like creating jewelry pieces...so I'm rather excited...I need a stop to a Michaels to replenish my bead collection...but I'm super stoked!!!

Nanobug Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 You go, Girl! I would love for you to share what you do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklepuppies Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Yea you! I made a light a few weeks ago after putting it off for ages, and it was a lot easier than I thought, and I have NO jewelry making or other bead creating experience. So it ought to be a breeze for you! Have fun, and yes please do show us what you come up with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Will there be tutorials? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheckMouse Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 You've got a good idea there -- many chandeliers look like elaborate jewelry pieces. I keep jewelry findings on hand for such things, but have not tried actually making the lights that way. Keep us updated, please PS: I saw a movie once where a fellow wanted to hide diamonds, so he incorporated them into an elaborate chandelier which he hung in his young daughter's bedroom. The villains could never find them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minifan Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 I just got all the "parts" that I need to start my first few fixtures... YES! There will DEF. be tutorials... (sucessful or not... )... I just started my clinical experience for my nursing school...so dh'ing has def. taken a backseat...but I will pick back up at it soon!!!

havanaholly Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Ah, yes, clinicals, and the endless care plans! Minis saved my sanity mini a night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chattycathy66 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Can't wait to see your fixtures Amanda Good luck with clinicals! Holly, I loved careplans in school...not much now though,lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 With me it was the other way around; I found writing care plans for "real" patients vs clinicals MUCH easier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
