Jewelry update.

I opted out of dinner at Skyler's tonight-- quite frankly because I'm cranky and tired, my uterus is trying to claw its way out from the inside, and I will be good company for no one in my current state. My jewelry-making's been perking me up, so here are a few early pics. I desperately need a new camera-- many of my favorite bits didn't photograph well at all, since my camera handles neither up-close nor shiny and iridescent well. As a result, everything is flat, blurry, and not at all the color it should be. I couldn't get hardly any of the earrings that use A/B finish beads or miracle beads. Hence no "Carp Diem" earrings or shiny Chinese coin disc dangles. BOO.


Shell and painted Czech glass earring.



Same pair. I gave Tina an identical pair.



Necklace I made for tamnonlinear.
Labradorite, goldstone, painted Czech glass, bloodstone, brass skeleton key.



Dangles made with Opalite, sterling silver, and Czech glass.



Autumn leaves.
Czech glass, brass findings, goldstone.



None of my wraps turned out in pictures, what with the shiny rocailles and all.
This is the basic idea. Japanese delicas, Czech glass, carnelian.



Brass findings, Autumn jasper, brecciated jasper.



Same pair.



Simple necklace: moonlight. Opalite & Czech glass.



Simple necklace: sunlight. Goldstone, painted Czech glass.

Okay, it's time for a warm bath, comfort food for dinner, and an early bedtime. I'll miss all of the people at Sky's tonight, but I think this irritable chick is better off with silence, tea, and exile this evening.
