Hey remember when I used to post jewellery? 😬 Lately it seems that I’m more about monsters than making, but such is the reality of this November. I’ve been taking on a lot of freelance design work in addition to my huge #stupidanimalhybrids project because with the almost-certain next round of lockdowns hovering, I am concerned that my p/t (aka bill-paying) job may get frozen again, so I’m making hay while the sun shines, so to speak. I am very, very tired. Like, in my soul/bone marrow. Retail at Christmas is a special kind of hell on a good year, but this year... *trails off*. Respect and hope to my fellow retail/service workers out there who are staring down the same possibility. Anyhow, it occurred to me today that I never posted this little aquamarine pendant that I finished last month. It sold so quickly I never had a chance to post about it, but I wanted to show it off; I mean, look at that glow! Aquamarines are most often some degree of tropical blue that bares the same name, but I was lucky to get my hands on 2 uniquely cut soft minty green stones at a gem show last year. This one has gone away to its forever home on the west coast, the other is on my bench where it will likely stay - I’m so in love with it I might just keep it. Hope you’re having a good weekend, friends. More monsters are forthcoming. End transmission. ✨ ... #aquamarine #granulation #minimaliststyle #ladysmith #progressreport #softgreen #greenglow #recycledsilver #stupidanimalhybrids #ontarioartist #shopsmallthischristmas https://www.instagram.com/p/CH4C9SyhRIA/?igshid=1oyg8zd3bvg66
