    Time Event
    11:19a
    ArtLog: work in progress
    OK, the blue and clear necklace is almost done -- it just needs a clasp yet -- and it's called "The Lady Who Looked In."

    The necklace-crown still wants its pearls. Possibly it will get them later today.

    There's a green/yellow glass necklace almost done, too. Its name is still rising from the clouded waters of possibility, though. I'll let you know as soon as I know it. (Names sometimes occur when I see the beads for the first time, some of them come to me slowly as I work on the piece, and others aren't apparent until after it's finished. A few pieces never have names at all. And sometimes their people rename them when the piece arrives. It's pretty much all good, though, I figure. Let many names bloom.)

    Others in contemplation:
    * clear glass necklace
    * a thing with brass and silver, plus mustard/coral/chartreuse glass, which is much better than it sounds
    * a dancy little clear colors thing that I cannot describe, except to say that it has a couple of beads left over from the blue and clear one
    * an amazing candyglass fantasia in yellow, green, turquoise and blue, with accents of periwinkle and purple
    * a red thing
    * something called "Red Hair and Black Lightning" which may or may not work
    * a fundraiser piece that is going to necessitate some quick shipping when I get home -- more on that later
    * a gazillion earring possibilities

    Wish me luck, eh? I am shaky and wobbly today, but making progress.

    ArtLog: work in progress, and a question about where your elisian shinies have been
    The new green/yellow necklace has a name now. It's "The Secret Pleasures of Turtles." (Yep, there's a glass turtle on it. I like turtle beads.)

    And apropos of a comment from [info]athenais in the last post, where have your elisian shinies been? Have you been wearing them? (If you're saving them for a special occasion, I suggest declaring tomorrow is a special occasion. Make something up, and celebrate it: Walk in the Sunshine Day, Cosmic Thursday Appreciation Society, whatever.)
