A "Cool" Necklace

I love the soft, almost neutral color of these pearls and the translucent amber glass pendant that anchors them.

I love pendant necklaces

The colors in this flame agate focal bead knock me out and I love that the stone is nearly transparent. I found the stone at a lapidary show and it lingered in my stash for a long time until I found a beautiful strand of flame agate rounds that complimented each of the pendant's colors. Pretty stuff.

Getting the chimney pointed

No, I'm not taking a picture of the chimney and posting it! Just noting that it's interesting to watch a worker perform his trade artfully and efficiently. It's what I aspire to in my own artistry.

The Craft Show Doldrums

Maybe if I applied to more shows in the summer, I wouldn't feel like there is NOTHING happening right now.
Does give me lots of time to create, however, so all is not lost.

Househunting

Househunting with one of my daughters has taken its toll on blogging time! I keep making things, listing them on etsy, and selling at craft shows, but my blog has become something of an afterthought. The thing is that one really has to work at a blog and I can always think of something that needs doing.

Like creating jewelry, as in the black gold amazonite necklace pictured. Those stones are so cool--both color and style.
