Earrings on the Theme of "A Swiftly Tilting Planet" -- Whee! :-D
Hey there! :-)
So I spent the morning making earrings.
Still to make:
In this fateful hour -- haven't made this one, in part because I have no idea what to use for it -- this may involve a visit to (alas) the bead store for hourglass charms, if I can find them... I'm liking red coral and black onyx? Maybe?
All heaven with its power -- black onyx, moonstone, perhaps some kind of silver spiral
All these I place -- might do a long silver chain with elements from all the other earrings included in it
Between myself and the powers of darkness -- It'll probably involve 8mm black onyx, but beyond that... No idea. Suggestions welcome.
Also, I'm inclined to change The Lightning With Its Rapid Wrath from citrine chips to moon glass[1] chips... I think it would be prettier. The blue glow is remeniscent of lightning (more so than the pale yellow of citrine), plus the afore-mentioned rapid wrath fuses sand into glass, so it would work on that level, too. (The citrine would probably just be switched bodily over to something involving a big chunk of lapis lazuli, and re-named "Honey is the Sweetest" or something, to go with my "Tell the Bees" piece).
This afternoon is going to involve a walk to the bank, the grocery store, and (probably) the bead store. Followed by the ceremonial Paying of the Phone Bill and, probably, some baking. Or similar. We shall see. :-)
[1] Glass that's been cooked up to look (and glow) like moonstone chips.
