Jessica (again) - gradient + thimble

I can't carry on just painting them. I really do have to try to be more creative. Don't hold your breath though...


It's a mix of 3 Jessica jellies. Aqua, Emerald and Violet.
Just slopped on. I wanted a sort of drippy candle-wax effect but it is what it is. Fine. Not bad. Quite like it.
Sorry about the ring finger. Clearly if I COULD fix it then I bloomin' well would. No idea what's wrong with it. Considering wearing a plaster over it permanently. You remember Nelly and Kelly? Plasters? Oh, and even Adam Ant. Could revive a trend. Keep your Minx. Maybe I should be looking for novelty-plasters. Or glue a thimble to my finger? Better get on to it.


Forgive state of paws. They don't look nearly as good as this IRL. Honest to God I'm sloughing my skin like an adolescent lizard. Too much information?


I do love to see the sun shining through these tints.

Here's my thimble.


It's Faberge. A bit plain for my taste. Must find a better one. I want to be able to tap rhythms on my desk and bring my students to attention with a tap of my thimble. Getting excited now.

The German for thimble is Fingerhut. This means "hat for a finger".

  3. I really like seeing jellies. What's wrong with your ring finger? I kept looking at it wondering "what IS she talking about?"

  4. I love jellies!!!! These are awesome. I think your paws look just fine, but I do like the thimble idea, it would make a fun clicking/tapping noise. ;-)

  5. I kinda photoshop that finger, ABOP. It has a witchy wart AND I keep getting hard skin growing at the side.... Gross.

    Yeah, I fancy my own percussion section going tap...tap...tap tappety tap tap...

  6. Love those jellies, adore the thimble! What a fab teacher you must be with your challenging look and outlandish nails. I did have some bacon rasher plasters but the old man's always cutting chunks out of himself and they didn't last long. xxx
