Go, me!
I have completed the Octarine pendant for the eight-chain tassel of my future staff. A photo will go up on Petridish at some point, and I may swap out one of my old usericons for a good version of this...
Hm.
But it's pretty. It's composed of parts from four different bits of broken jewelery: the fancy wirework from an earring that had no mate, the rose crystal dangly from a broken earring my mother gave me, four lapis lazuli beads from the neclace and bracelet that Guide Dog Aunt gave me long ago (I still have the photos of me wearing my necklace with Nutty Brownie wearing the bracelet as a necklace), and the metal feather from the dreamcatcher earring pair (one broken) that ...my, I think it was Galadriel's mother... someone gave me once. I borrowed back my round-nosed pliers, and borrowed the blunt-tipped pliers and the wire cutters. I strung some random chains together in a tassel, and I attached the beads to the wire with four pins, sharp tips cut off, shafts curled and locked around the other wires.
Together, of course, it is a delicate tracery of wires, with a brightsparkling pink teardrop crystal catching the eye, with four blue spheres and a feather dangling from the loops of wire. The design has strength and order, as well as random loopy interconnectedness, and interesting bits hanging off. It's very much my style, as well it should be. There will follow other charms, each appropriate to their Color... but this is a good start.
