DIY Tutorial : How to decorate an acrylic diamond necklace with swarovski hotfix crystals or hotfix rhinestones
Here is a great video tutorial on You Tube by EvaParadijs. In this video tutorial EvaParadijs talks you through how to decorate an acrylic diamond necklace with hotfix rhinestones or hotfix swarovski crystals.
In the video tutorial EvaParadijs uses an iron to affix her rhinestones, but as she points out you could also use your flat irons (hair straightners) or for more accuracy I would suggest you use a soldering iron (if you have access to one!) - but be VERY careful as they do get extremely hot!
You can buy various colours of acrylic diamond necklaces from www.redplasticfactory.co.uk
You can buy hotfix rhinestones or hotfix swarovski crystals from eBay or your local craft shop.
Check out a few more of EvaParadijs videos on You Tube too, she has some great make up tutorials.

Bianca and Sierra Casady
Bianca and Sierra Casady are sister-band, CocoRosie. I love their quirky, oftentimes 'genderless' sense of style.
Bianca Casady also works as an artist, creating paintings and installations.
"Casady believes her prose takes its shape as naturally in visual forms as it does in lyrics. Inspired by the "cosmic quotes on things in dollar-stores," her paintings, collages and drawings are rife with mythic imagery that ranges from rainbow corncobs, puffy clouds and the faces of genderless children, to skulls, swastikas and dollar signs."

Crayon Rings by Timothy Liles
Wow wee! I love these fun and playful crayon rings, produced by US designer, Tim Liles. They are available to buy in a special box set of 8 colours from The Future Perfect... sadly for me they are only available in a ring size 7 (which is not my ring size, *sob*) ...
