So I have finally finished the necklace that goes to the bloodstone cab I wrapped awhile back and that I made the chain for with green aventurine and dalmatian jasper! \u00a0I have listed it on my Etsy shop<\/a> with much trepidation. \u00a0It is my first wire-work listing, and I spent waaayyyyyy too many hours looking up comparative listings, to come up with an average for the price, and to compare my work with that of others’. I finally settled on a price I felt comfortable with, and went ahead with the listing. \u00a0Here’s a peak:

Amazingly talented Shannon of Vixen’s Natural Jewelry on both Etsy<\/a> and Artfire<\/a>\u00a0(who is also a major source of inspiration to me)\u00a0\u00a0commented that it reminds her of a fairy tale mirror, and I love that description! \u00a0Gazing into it, you do get the feeling that a face is going to faintly surface and show itself… (Check out Shannon’s pages!! She has some incredibly beautiful items listed!)<\/p>\n

On another note, I have finished A’s necklace, just in the nick of time! Here are some pictures I snagged today while it was perfectly partly cloudy:

I hope she likes it! Moonstone rounds, tubes and the focal-a moonstone marquis in peach, grey and milky-white, all from the great bead people at Magpie Gemstones<\/a>! I cannot express more sincerely how lucky I feel to have found them! Sterling silver intermingles throughout the necklace, accenting and highlighting the gentle grace of the moonstones.<\/p>\n

I had planned to try and get all creative and had a great idea for the perfect, handmade card for M&A to congratulate them on their marriage, and to give them a keepsake the could cherish for years to come, but it seems my plans have fallen through once again. I am The Great Procrastinator, after all! =^..^=<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
