Day 2 of 30 New Pieces in 30 Days

Stormy skies.

It has rained everyday since I returned home from my adventures. Every day. Personally I’m OK with this because I’m spending all my time indoors playing with hot glass and jewelry design so I am not tempted to go outside and play. While most days when I sit down at the torch I think of memories of places I’ve been and places I dream of going, this day I looked out at the grey grey grey and admired the stormy skies. 

There are 2 versions of this pendant, one is etched for a matte texture and the other is left as a gloss finish. I think I prefer the matte, it’s softer, more velvety, like a grey day. You can’t see quite through it. What do you think? 

My hands made this pendant. It measures approximately 28 x 25 mm and hangs from an 18" sterling silver snake chain. If you would like a different length please leave a note when checking out. Lengths available are: 16", 18", 20", 22", and 24". 

My hands made these beads. I use Effetre glass, a little CIM and occasionally Vetrofond. All my beads are kiln annealed, thoroughly cleaned and inspected. There is no paint on any of my beads, just glass upon glass upon glass.

Please remember the jewelry looks larger than life in the pictures which is why it is important to check the size. I have tried to capture the colours as accurately as possible but many monitors vary.
