Aegis Arcana : Necklace : 02

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

--

I really love this one - I didn't know what I was doing with it, I just started playing around, and this kind of flower shape came out of it, completely unintentionally!

I love these glass pieces, because they each seem to develop on their own, how they want...

This one kind of reminded me of a lily, or other flower like that, that wraps around and has the little stamen bit popping out that you can see - in this case, that stamen is a pearl.

On top is one of the faceted crystals I've been hoarding for ages from an antique necklace I bought a few years ago, that was broken, but so worth it!

This (as well as most of the random Steampunk pendants) is on an antique brass chain necklace.

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 my Etsy shop shortly.

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