ArtLog: new work and old, with photos
I have been working.
The first piece is a necklace called "As Above, So Below." Some of you who were at Worldcon probably saw pieces of it as I was making it. I suddenly needed something to wear for the Hugos, and assembled it hastily, figuring I would take it apart into its four or five sections later and play with it some more, but people informed me that it was done, so I guess it is. Sterling silver, lots of stone and glass; there's aquamarine in there, and peruvian opal (which still looks like chalcedony to me), and jasper and pearls all manner of goodies. Expensive, which means I have not yet figured out the exact number for the price tag, but I know it's over $500 and under $800.
Pendant: "Fly-by-Night, or, Travels in the Dark" Labradorite with a nice biconic Swarovski crystal bead on sterling silver. There's a daytime side and a nighttime side to this pendant, and on the nighttime side a dark and brilliant blue figure leaps from a crescent of shimmering light into the darkness. Most astonishing bead, this labradorite. $40. sold
Earrings: blue and clear glass on sterling silver. Amazing beads. The stripes look almost purple to me in regular light, but they're blue. $35, and I wish I could find some more beads like this to play with. These are the only two I have. sold
And now from the past: an ocean jasper pendant, a bit off-center and the silver is tarnished, but it's a sweet stone. $10.
Last thing is that pale, pale yellow-green necklace; someone spoke to me about it just after the June sale, and I cannot remember who it was. Was it you? If so, we should talk.
There's also some work in progress, but that'll have to wait for the next round of photos, as will the BotMo pile of loot.
