Art Abandonment

For years now I have been making wire wrap jewelry. Just as long, I often give pieces away to random strangers or leave rings and bracelets ive made in truck stop bathrooms, rest areas and even along with my tip at restraunts. Its a way of practicing random acts of kindness. Ive gotten comments from other artists who think im nuts for doing it and others who say its awesome.
One time I remember we were headed thru ohio on the turnpike. It was 3am and I was inside playing with a ring and leaching McDonald's wifi. I took an entire bag of more than 3 dozen  bracelets and went inthe womens restroom and placed one on the roll holder of each clean stall.
Another time it was new years day and I left my first 2 pieces of the year in the drivers lounge of a truckstop in Arkansas where we were waiting on layover for our delivery appt the next day.
Well seems I'm not the only one who does this. Came across a group on Facebook. Called art abandonment.  Cant wait to start posting more pics and stories of my creations travels lol.

Grandma? Who, me?

I never like to admit my age. Never have, probally never will. The comments I get when I tell people I have 8 children are usually gasps, shocked expressions and the like.
So I now have a very super cute grandson, Zion.
Ahh, how to get by without the mention of the G~word, I do not know.
He's adorable enough to have me admitting my age....almost...

Super Simple Toe Ring Tutorial

Ok, this here post is for Femiology.
How to make a cute toe ring, Dress up those bare summer sandal feet.
Step 1
Tools.
You really only need one tool for this and its available at most Walmarts for about 5$.  Its a 3 in 1 tool with wire cutter, flat surface, and rounded ends

.
Materials.
Wire...
There are many different types, sizes, and colors of this available. What I recommend for this project is either colored and coated copper or aluminum craft wire. It comes in several different gauges. You will want one that is 16. It's sturdy enough to walk around with on your toes.
Makeup tube.
What's makeup got to do with jewelry you say? Lol
Choose a tube of mascara, liner pencil or some other cylindric item that is about as thick around as the size of the toe/finger that the ring is being made for.
Ruler.
Gotta know how much wire you'll need.
Gather together all the items above.
Step 2
Cut an 8 inch length of the wire.
Holding the makeup tube, place the wire on the tube with about an inch sticking out and hold it with your thumb.
Wrap the wire around the tube twice, still holding it in place with your thumb, pulling tight.
You now have a coil. Remove coil from the tube.

Place coil on the ruler, and measure 1 inch on each side. Cut any extra wire off of the ends.

Using the tips of the tool, grab the wire on one end and begin to curl it into a loop. Do a complete loop and being it around as shown.
Repeat the process on the other end.

Finally, bend both loops down just a little bit with finger.
And Voila~
You now have a nice little ring that will look great on fingers or toes.
