Just found this community and I'm excited! I went in for a jewelry change on Saturday for my nose stud, came out with upgraded rings and two new piercings! I LOVE the peek-a-boo topaz drop piece especially!
I suck at plating but it sure tasted pretty good.
I've had a sensor gooseneck on me, had a couple fail to pair or just fail after pairing, but this is the first time I've gotten one of the "this could kill you" sensors. 47 this morning (finger prick was 142 after emergency sugar intake whilst sensor was still saying 50), 102 this afternoon after eating (finger prick was 198) and just now, 320!!! (Finger prick is 249, still a little high but this is 120 minutes after an admittedly carb heavy dinner). So yeah, think I'm going to change my sensor... wonder if this is one of the ones from the most recent "bad batch"?
ETA: flagged as calibration issue as used both finger pricks this morning to calibrate the sensor so maybe it went too far in the other direction?
It's a love/ hate relationship creating these!
A month. That's how long I've been working on this piece. It's been intense and I can't even look at it objectively right now. My sister loves it, my husband and friends say its stunning and they're impressed but I'm still too close to this to critique it in a clinical way.
It's pearlised seed beads, 11s and 15s, Preciosa rivolis and sunstone (one if my faves!).
I can hopefully analyze it later but right now I can't opine if it's good, bad, somewhere in between so I'm just going to sit back and breathe for a bit...
