So, how was your weekend?

Merit Badge!

I forgot, too, that I learned a clever and efficient way of making beaded drop earrings this weekend. I usually shy away from making earrings for a number of reasons. I don't wear different earrings with different outfits, (I have pretty much a single pair that I wear all the time), and so I don't usually think about making any. Also they require a lot more patience and precision than the other things that I do make. Of course, they also require less materials than my other stuff, but generally I have more materials than I have patience and precision, so you can see how that goes.

But I sorted out how to make them out of the same flexible wire I prefer for making other stuff out of, and suddenly, they're pretty easy. I made three pairs, in fact, which actually go with some of my other pieces. People always ask for the damned things, I might as well make it so that I can have some to sell to them.

So that's another merit badge. :) I've been all about the merit badge of late, for which I credit ebonypearl. Her woodspirits group talks about a proposal for a group for adults which serves some of the same purposes as scouting for kids: getting together, having a good time doing things, learning new skills, service work, and so on. It would have an awards system based on "Pearls": as I understand it, each group (or individual) would sort out what colors of beads or other small shiny things would represent what type of experience or acheivement, and then you'd have a banner or a sash or something that you would sew a Pearl on every time you did something. I think that's pretty damned nifty.
