July 30 ~ the nasty black line on the lower left is the needle and 6 kinds of medications injected in my back. Not fun and its been a long couple of days since. Im hoping to feel so much better by Monday. I have alot of things I want to get started on, New projects, Tutorials and Lots of great things to share with all of you. And hopefully my Ring giveaway.
This is my surgery a few months back. It is called a Radio Frequeny Rhizotomy. All the black lines on the left side of my neck are needles approx 3-4 inches long(I actually have on as a keepsake to gross out people) It is stuck all the way in. You are given a light sedative but you have to stay awake for the whole procedure. The stick the hollow needle in the nerve. Then put a burning instrument inside the needle. They start to burn the nerve you feel everything and it smells. Ive passed out midstream before and then they wake you up, you have to be awake to tell them when you no longer feel the burning because that means they burnt the nerve. YUCK. Omg does this hurt. I have had this now a total of 9 times since 2005 and I find that burning the nerves is the only thing that helps my sever neck injury. Sadly the nerves grow back and I have to get it again. Hoping this one lasts awaile.
Here is my neck. All caged and fused almost from the top of the spine down. This is the old one not the latest. I have more cages and screws and brackets in there. Couldnt find the photo. This is what hold my pea brain on my head. LOL
I have had so many people ask me lately why I am sick. Im in pain. A man blew a stop sign and hit me in my truck and I was sitting still at my stop sign. He was going 90 mph and hit me in my drivers door. They do now know how I made it and nor do I. But I thank god everyday for saving me and letting me enjoy every minute of everyday. So if I whine to much just ignore me. Lol Im getting old I turned 42 so Im intitled to a little old person whining now. :)
My Projects for the weekend. I hope I get them done.
With the above Im going to make earrings and a cha cha bracelet similar to the one I donated to 7000 Bracelets for hope. I had fun making the clay flowers and the blk and white beads are covered with a ghost cane I made. Lots of pearls and crystals will be added to fill in the lovely cha cha bracelet. Will share soon.
These are a few polymer clay canes that Im working on Focal Beads and smaller beads with. I love making beads and I want to make more to sell in groups for others that dont like beads. I have over 400 polymer clay flower canes if there is a color bead you want you let me know, I have it im sure. lol If not Ill make it for you. These two gorgeous canes are by Marsdesign one of my favorite cane artists in Israel. to find her go to : www.Etsy.com/shop/marsdesign

New Pearl Navettes. I love pearls. I can add black pearls or black crystals on the sides of these on a ring. Or any color pearl with this white pearl will be gorgeous. The setting is silver and the pearl is white. Its lovely and I can imagine with a peach or purple pearl with it, it will be truly one of a kind you wont see anywhere else. Let me know if you want one.
I am a new member of the Onfireteam of Etsy and their treasury challenge was a fun one this week. Guess what color it was? Black and white. How odd that I was working with black and white. So I had a lot of fun looking up amazing work by fellow artists in the guild. I couldnt get the direct photo to post so excuse the photo of the screen. I will update once my computer will let me to a better picture.
I wanted to list them for you but Im starting to not feel well. I cant sit long Im still in recovery from my spinal. Very weak. So here is a link to all of my fun treasurys on Etsy. I hope you enjoy them and take a look at my shop and theirs.
