The first artsy piece that I've made in a while. Driftwood, cotton macrame cord. Besides wall art, I think it can be used to hold jewelry, too - hang dangle earrings off the net part, and I made square knot buttons from which to hang necklaces and/or bracelets. Maybe even rings, depending on finger size.
I had been in a burnout, then right as I was coming out of it, I had to make a bunch of "bread and butter" pieces in a hurry (attractive, sell well, but not a ton of creative energy), which took up a lot of time and motivation.
I was starting to feel like a robot with all of that. It's nice to sit down and feel the creative gears turning again.

Got a Stackers box from the Container Store! Just wanted to see if this works for at least some of my jewelry.
It definitely does, and I'm gonna need some more of those rows for rings AND more levels for my pins and stud earrings!
I like it tho, more than I was expecting to

So, I have a lot of necklaces. For a long time I used to hang them off these hanging earring and necklace organizers. But at some point I got these 8" wall mounted racks with dowels and S-hooks so I could hang them up higher and make it harder for my cats to pull them down, since they weren't being held up by velcro anymore. But my girl cat Cara Mia is a real magpie who not only likes to bat at my jewelry, but chew on and destroy some of it it too. I have a mirror armoire that can hold some necklaces, but not nearly enough. So I wanted more closed storage, but I couldn't really find anything that could hold even half of what my dowel racks could while taking up twice as much wall space.
So, I bought a shadowbox big enough for the dowels of both racks to fit inside. I ripped out the canvas-wrapped stryofoam backing it came with and replaced it with some peel-and-stick black felt lining for jewelry boxes. Then I screwed in some J-hooks and secured them in the back with nuts.
Then I was able to take the dowels and S-hooks I had on my wall mounted racks and put them inside the shadow box. So instead of a standard jewelry cabinet that can usually only fit up to 20 necklaces, I have one that can hold 40.
For some reason the front panel frame was separated into two pieces. It clearly wasn't so the acrylic panel could be removed, because that was held in place by bendable metal tabs, not the frame itself. So I had to glue the frame together, but it seems like the glue that bled through can't just be scraped off. It seems to have actually tarnished the frame. So I bought some corners to cover up the glue stains and give the frame some extra reinforcement.
I also added a latch to keep the cats from being able to open it.
I wanted to put some art behind the front panel but I needed it to fill 16 3/4"x20 3/4", which is not a standard print size. It's also really hard to find art anymore that's for sure not AI garbage. Finally, I found something I liked that was made in 2015. I couldn't really get it in the size that I wanted on the site where I originally found it, but I figured out that one of the handful of sizes offered would work if I got a custom mat to go with it. But then it turned out that not only are photo mats ridiculously expensive most of the time, but every place that sells custom mats tacks on like $30-$50 to ship to Alaska. But then I realized the site the print was already on offered custom mats. But then it turned out that site also charged an insane shipping fee for Alaska.
But then it turned out the artist also had that particular piece available as a print on Society 6 in a 17"x21" with white borders I could easily trim a quarter inch off of, and they don't charge an arm and a leg to ship to Alaska.
So I got the print and then taped together some cardboard and covered it in more of that black felt lining to create a stiff backing. Finally pealed off the protective layer on the acrylic panel and it immediately scratched before I even had it all the way off.
Whatever.
Anyway, I put in the art and the cardboard backing and now the cabinet is finally finished.
Despite that stupid fucking scratch I'm quite proud.
And yes, that is another rack full of necklaces that couldn't fit into the closed storage I already have because I own so much cheap costume jewelry.
