I'm mostly updating with things that I was supposed to write about but never did, since my apartment doesn't really have anywhere set up for me to take pics and the majority of my statues are still at home. In any case~ on to the bling!
I discovered this interesting "dragon" claw bracelet on etsy one day and quickly realized that they merely painted a cheap chinese bracelet, and I thought "Hey, I can do that for under 5 bucks!"; so I did.
A quick search for "claw bracelet" and you too can also purchase a few for under 5$. As for painting them, I used nail polish (bad idea, fumes lol) and sorta just winged it with the coloring.
Here's what I made:
Black, Red, and Blue themed dragon claws :)
I tried going for a subtle shiny red hidden within the scales, I did alright I guess.
My fire dragon theme was supposed to be like flames - its ugly but whatever.
My blue one was the first I tackled and I mostly did whatever popped into my head. The turn out wasn't too bad.

These necklaces are purchased separate but I had an idea with them that I just HAD to do (
purchased from here)
Luckily I have a ton of unused necklaces that I can take apart and use as supplies.

Lord of the Rings necklaces & Skyward Sword necklace
I've always wanted the Arwen necklace, so I found the cheapest-best looking one I could on ebay, and I gotta say it doesn't look bad at all. I also got the Lothlorien leaf necklace (also a pin).

Game of Thrones - The Hound (Sandor Clegane) Helmet necklace
Now this I bought during my omg-I-love-the-Hound-phase, which was subsequently killed by reasons I won't get into, and it was a PAIN IN THE ASS to get because the etsy seller refused to ship outside the U.S. So I used my trusty BM-sharkie connections to find a girl willing to buy it and send it to me ♥
(Unfortunately I'm unable to find the seller, so I assume her buyer woes resulted in her closing her store :/)
