New stuff to do as ever!

I finally got silver bales and the right kind of sealant in for those scrabble tile pendants, so in about a week I should have some cured ones to show that look more dimensional than the last ones I was working on! I'll let you all know if the resin I got is the right one so you don't waste time if you are trying to do scrabble pendants. It is also useful to use in empty metal cabochons if you wish to turn interesting silk paper or something into a pendant.

My project this week has been a wire crocheted necklace which I have named  "Moonlit Sea". It's covered in moonstone crystal beads, violet beads, and black and smoky pink pearls. I had a terrible time getting a good picture of it because my camera luminesced on the moonstone no matter what I did. I forgot and wore one of these necklaces out on errands today and people kept stopping me to ask me where I'd gotten it. The whole thing is on silver wire. It was not difficult to make, but it took a couple of hours.




I put it up on my etsy and artfire shops. I may have to redo this project in copper and green just to see how it comes out!!! :)

As far as the fibromyalgia goes, I have been having issues with my hands and arms so am going in tomorrow for trigger point injections. Let's hope it helps because I want to craft more!

Also, have just been through big, traumatic, but necessary cycle of explaining to extended family what fibro does to me. It was sort of a scary experience to send out all of those envelopes. I am still waiting for some sort of reaction from them, if any. Any fibro folks on this page who can relate to that?
