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!  I have listed it on my Etsy shop with much trepidation.  It 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.  Here’s a peak:

Amazingly talented Shannon of Vixen’s Natural Jewelry on both Etsy and Artfire (who is also a major source of inspiration to me)  commented that it reminds her of a fairy tale mirror, and I love that description!  Gazing 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!)

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! 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.

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! =^..^=
