Jewels From Junk!

It has been a long week already and today should have been my day off, and I ended up at work. Luckilly I have a day off on Wednesday so I get two weekends this week kinda sorta... 
I have so much to do in the house, I've been a little lax and needing some time to catch up... I do also want to let my mind wander off to things that aren't helping me feel better. My mum is on my mind, she's in hospital and I'm worried without being able to see her face to face... Hence why today I'm thinking about making something to make her smile... 

My mum is a jeweller, she has been one for about 50 years, and what started as a Saturday job at a local family jewellery store saw her getting a degree in gemology with a specialisation in diamonds... She's BRILLIANT at just looking at a gemstone and saying if it's real or not... 
I was rooting around in the house and randomly decided to become a bit of a Junk Jeweler - thanks to a set released by random.Matter at Salvage Station, that runs until November 30th - so I've pulled some of my junk out to make the things, I've lit a few Vintage Oil Candles - which are a gorgeous release from Candle & Cauldron at Enchanment by the way - and grabbed a box of Skeleton Grahams - from Junk Food - that I had left over from Halloween and along with my BitterSync - from AxisMundi - Robot buddies, I am going to learn how to make something gorgeous out of trash...
