There’s still time to order a gift before St. Valentine’s Day so I made even more of the popular hearts so you can have more choice. The pendants are available in my shop, in the steampunk section and gothic section.
With these pendants it usually takes more time to make them. They’re high end stuff in what I make and I want them to be really perfect, so I take the time to find the right watch parts, right beads to decorate them, and the wrapping itself lasts longer. The beautiful glass cabs come from Mollie Barrow at Spleodar Glass. Two of them are emerald green, although I can’t decide what colour that is exactly. I’d say it’s on the green side of teal. And the third one is midnight blue with shimmering bits inside, which make it look like starry sky.
Available in my Etsy shop here (1), here (2) and here (3).
Well, they’re fairly irregular for teardrops and the third one is actually tooth shaped. Something I made in the meantime when I was bored with the usual stuff. I wish I had more side drilled agate in cooler shades (temperature-wise cooler, not awesomeness-wise cooler), but the batch I’ve got recently is mostly brownish red, sometimes orange or yellow, so I’m pretty much restricted to matching it with carnelian and other similar stones. It’s fun to make them every now and then, though
Two agate teardrops, available in my Etsy shop here and here
and one double sided amethyst tooth (available here) with quartz inclusions (or is it a quartz with amethyst inclusions? amethyst is technically a quartz anyway), which I called “Purple Winter” on deviantArt.
I’ve neglected my blog recently, for which I apologize. I was sick and didn’t make anything for a while. Suddenly I realized that St Valentine’s Day is approaching, so I’m trying to make amends for my laziness with new heart pendants that you all love. The first 2012 batch. All available in my Etsy shop in the Steampunk section. Enjoy!
I finally got to make something that required more time and attention than my usual stuff. This pendant is a rough quartz point that looks more or less like an icicle, hence the post title. It’s not particularly tricky to make a double sided pendant, it just takes more time. And I really thought that making it just one sided would look strange. I’m not sure if it came out wintery enough, though, as I got carried away with the wire wrapping and I’m not sure if it suits the idea. Also, the wire is somewhat too warm in tone (and I was out of the grey one). So you be the judge(s).
