ArtLog: new work

[elisem]

"The Five Sorrows of Brother Moonlamp" necklace:wrapped 22 gauge sterling silver wire, with clasp on one end and a labradorite teardrop dangle on the other; beads of glass and stone, mostly in blues and grays and lavenders and the colors that dance on labradorite. Long enough to loop twice, and looks very nice with the inner shorter loop being the clasp-and-dangle, framed by the curve of the outer longer loop.

Odd -- making this was like starting all over again. Perhaps that's because it was the first named piece that I did wrapped in a long time, rather than just bent linked. The dangle wirework feels clumsy to me, but a strangely endearing clumsy, so I shall leave it. It seems to suit. This is a curious piece. (The Obble saw it two links and a dangle from done, tonight, and can offer her opinions if she likes.)

Not sure what I'll do next; I have any number of things waiting on the line, but am going to show some things to a store soon, so might do a special simple piece I may want to show them. It's something I have wanted to try for a while anyhow.

two links and a dangle from done

I like that. One could use it for almost any circumstance -- "How's the article coming?" "I'm two links and a dangle from done." "Good!"

Blues and greys and lavenders and labradorite. Oooooh. Sounds like just what like. Wanna see! Wanna see!

(And we've sold the CA house so maybe wanna buy!)

Well, you still have a Special Dispensation to get a hedgehog for half-price if you want, too. But yeah, you should see this one. I think it's full of various inspirations, and I am going to like watching people meet it.

Same with "+1 Ring of Looking Innocent" -- as far as liking watching people meeting it, I mean.

If you sell the Brother Moonlamp necklaces before I see you again, please get pictures of them. Because I'm falling in love with them just from the titles and descriptions, and I want to see!

(Still mulling Draco campestris, by the way; I know what happens, and I know who it happens to, but I don't know how it happens yet. But I will.)

Well, my opinion is worth exactly what you are paying for it. But I liked the stuff you said was awkward. And I loved the colors. And I remember thinking about all the stuff you showed us, aside from the one I liked, the name of which I cannot now remember, "These are too big for me." I did not mean it literally, but I certainly did mean it.
