amazon_syren Dec. 27th, 2011 05:08 pm)So. I've learned that, if I'm going to make jewelry, I need to do it before about 2pm, otherwise there's not nearly enough light in the living room to do it without wrecking my eye-sight.
Right.
So, rather than actually finishing my colleciton, I made all of two pairs of earrings. Sugar Moon (which is all browns and coppers) and Honey Moon (which is all warm golds). Lots of sweet stuff.
I'm going to have to go over everything again, though, as I thought I'd made one too many winter-related sets and... may not have...
So we'll see. (Right now "ice moon" is sitting in my jewelry box, having been worn on xmas day, so it's out of the collection - or at least not getting sold, let's put it that way - regardless).
We have:
Frost Moon: 4mm rainbow moonston, 2mm silver dots, 6mm dragon veins agate (needs to be lengthened)
Long Nights Moon: 4mm rainbow moonstone, 6mm rainbow obsidian (needs to be lengthened)
Snow Moon: 4mm white shell, 4mm snowflake obsidian (needs to be lengthened, and possibly trippled up... we'll see)
[Ice Moon: 4mm clear quartz, 6mm dragon veins agate, 2mm silver dots]
Hunger Moon: 4mm white shell, 6mm white howlite, little bone skulls
Sugar Moon: 4mm mahogany obsidian, 4mm carnelian, goldstone chips, and 5mm recycled dark wood beads (species unknown)
Flood Moon: Not actually made yet, but probably 3mm iolite, 2mm silver dots, and 4mm clear quartz
Flower Moon: Also not actually made yet, but probably 4mm rose quartz, 4mm amethyst, 4mm green aventurine, and little silver flowers (or big, pink glass flowers, we'll see) )I could just as easily call this one Leaf Moon and do it all in greens (malachite and aventurine... we'll see.
Honey Moon: 4mm carnelian, 3mm red aventurine, 6mm honey jade (iirc), and little silver bees
Berry Moon: Also not made yet, but probably 4mm amethyst, 4mm lapis lazuli, 4mm blue aventurine, and maybe a few other stones (like rhodonite or red coral), all clustered together like a bunch of grapes
Thunder Moon: Also not made yet, but probably 4mm hematite, 6mm dragon veins agate, 6mm rainbow obsidian, moon glass chips, 2mm silver dots
Harvest Moon: Also not made yet, but probably 4mm malachite, 4mm red aventurine, 6mm red coral, and who-all knows what else. Aiming for a mix of bright colours for squashes, apples, cabbages, and lots of other stuff. May see if I can find some kind of a horn-of-plenty charm to go on these.
Hunter's Moon: Also not made yet, but probably 4mm garnet, 2mm silver dots, 6mm white howlite, irregular garnet blobs, 8mm black onyx (I think), 4mm hematite, and maybe some little bone animal-shaped beads, if I've got enough.
I'll either make a second "Ice Moon" option (one that doesn't look nearly so much like Frost Moon does...) or I'll come up with a different name for the lunar month that starts (this year) in late January. (Current contenders: "Cold Moon" and "Bleak Moon", but also "Lengthening Days Moon", which is at least a little less depressing).
Now for a bath.
