I have absolutely NO clue how I got myself involved with this blog hop...OH YEAH, Sandra McGriff! She posted a last call on the Facebook group Creative Bead Chat. It was like some spell came over me, I jumped in and committed myself to join!
The more I talked with my husband and my friend Marlene the more I realized that THAT would. not. do!
So then I just turned to the biggest Sci-Fi adventure I could think of - "Star Trek", of course.
Marlene suggested the final idea - it's the Starfleet communicator badge.
"In Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG) and later series, Starfleet officers and enlisted personnel wear small communicator badges on their left breast. These devices are in the shape of the Starfleet insignia and are activated with a light tap." Courtesy of Wikipedia
Sorta like a bluetooth...
So that's it, my short visit to the "unknown". Happy Sandra?! LOL!

I am not much of a Sci-Fi aficionado either and my first thought was Star Wars, though the Jetsons were not far behind! What an awesome interpretation you have on your pin! Fabulous!!!
Omg.. that is awesome! Don't be surprised if you have trekkies wanting to buy that off of you or order some more! lol And probably as earrings if you can make them smaller ;) lol
Also a total surprise..I dropped in expecting to see some fun little earring tribute to the Jetsons .. and instead I find geekdom awesomeness :)
hahahaha - well done, ma'am!
Beam me up Scottie!!!! Well done, sis!
Your pin looks great! I am a huge TNG fan & a communicator was the first thing I thought of too. Good job!
You know, only a really, reeeeeeally good friend can talk us out of our comfort zone. And, hey, as far as I'm concerned, Sci-Fi cartoons work, too. ("meet George Jetson! Jane, his wife...") Go ahead, I double-dog-fudge-dip-DARE you to make some Rosie/Jetson earrings! (heheheeehehe!)
No doubt in anyone's mind where that idea came from! LOL you really don't even need to blog about it. That is one thing that every "trekkie" would relate to instantly. Great job.
Fantastic Shelley, and of course it needed to be a pin, what else could it be??
