So, today's random flood of jewelry bits are my personal favorites.

Some of you who have been watching me for ages (or know me IRL) probably know that ~kellin's grandparents live in the Bahamas (how cool is that?!... and technically, I think they're my "grandparents in law" - is that even a title? ^^ But, they're great people and so nice... anywho...) and a few years ago, we went down there to visit.

I picked up so much beach glass it wasn't even funny. I was collecting like it was a hot commodity that was about to run out (which they find funny, because that's not even remotely true...) and picked up so much that I had to pay extra on my baggage coming back, it weighted more than they allow ^^

And... I had meant to do all of this cool wire wrapping stuff on it, like I see a lot of people do.

And then I tried.

And failed so miserably I stashed the glass away for ages, because it made me sad every time I thought about how much I sucked at doing jewelry stuffs with it, like I had wanted. I pulled it out again while cleaning, and decided to give it another go - I'm happy I did!

I have now discovered that, as long as it doesn't involve wire wrapping, I can do some jewelry stuffs. I just fail at wire

This piece in particular is one of my favorites, even though I didn't think I would like it as I was making it. I can't describe it, either, other than perhaps "ethnic" (please don't let me offend anyone by that ^^) but that just seems off, too.

But, anywho, a piece of naturally dinged, broken, and sanded down sea glass - I didn't do anything to it's shape or how matte/shiny it is; it was all done by the ocean, which makes me happy, as I'm very much a water person

Antique brass findings and chains and danglies (I friggin' love those dangling tear drops!) abound on the pendant. It is strung on a chain of antique brass, too.

The earrings were meant to just be somewhat similar, from a line I was working on to go with these, I think I was going to call them "Lantern Lights" but I'm not sure yet... but, the pendant is my <3 <3 <3

This, as well as about a dozen others, will be available at Geek.Kon, and then, if they don't sell, they'll be up on Etsy after that.

If you want one, though, lemme know in a note or an email~
