Steam Dream Rework
So, yesterday’s necklace has been reworked, and I’m happpy with it now. I felt it needed to be a bit more elaborate to pull in some of the Victorian feel, instead of just using the chain. So, here it is.
I built the necklace with Almandine Garnets, Gold Sheen Obsidian, Czech Glass, and brass filigree rounds. I finished it off with a darkened steel hook clasp that I made myself, with a chain to add a little bit of additional length.
I enjoyed making this one so much, I may have to do some more Stempunk themed pieces!
And now…Waiting For Katherine
Waiting For Katherine
Today, my dear friend and Sister, Jen, gave birth to Katherine Elizabeth Henry Ellis. It was a scheduled C section at 5:30 pm EST and here I am in Pacific Standard Time. So…I spent most of the day nervously waiting, and fidgeting with beads. I lit some candles, burned some sage, and created this piece. It’s the chain from the Steam Dream necklace I created yesterday. It features a button from Mamacita Beadworks and it was just too cool to take apart. A tassel of Almandine Garnets with some gunmetal chain and filigree seemed fitting. A fat Czech glass drop anchors the piece, and a darkened steel hook can clasp the necklace in several places, including the chain.
Katherine comes from amazing parents. Her mom is bold and intelligent with a sultry femininity that is unforgettable. Her daddy is strong and steadfast with shoulders that can carry the world and compassion that is endless. She’s a lucky girl…I can’t wait to meet her.
