I think I'm going to put some goals on myself for tomorrow and Thursday night that I won't make any new pieces until I've worked on the things I need to finish for the convention. Things I need to do - put labels and prices on the pieces, finish off the standing displays and get all the other stuff I need to take on Friday out and at least gathered up for packing.
Here's where I post new jewelry, experiments with new materials and techniques, or talk about conventions I've been to. I might talk about brick and mortar stores or online shops where I've bought fun stuff, give an occasional review and also some ramblings about the progress (or lack of it) towards turning a hobby into a part-time business.

Made Some Earrings While Watching Obama Speech - So, Is It Too Corny to Want to Name Them "Hope"?
I decided to make a pair of earrings that matched a lanyard using teal and aqua glass beads. Started out just putting the beads on a long sterling headpin in the same sequence as the lanyard. Decided it needed a little something more and since I'm on a curlicue kick, I took some wire and made two curls and hung little teal faceted glass beads off of them.
And here's the pair with the matching lanyard.

I think Hope is a good name -
ReplyDeleteCheck out the meaning of Aqua - coincidence you chose that color and that name? i think not!
Aqua
Symbolizes freshness, the pristine and unspoiled. Vivacious and dramatic in a refreshing way. Confidence, strength and strong individualism.
ooh - that's very cool! Where do you look up the meaning? Is there one for 'teal'?
ReplyDeleteBTW, good luck with the show - saw the pieces - they're beautiful.
- "I won't make any new pieces until I've worked on the things I need to finish" -
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that! Just kidding. I set that goal a lot. Sometimes it even works.
Love the earrings though. They look special!
Thanks, Bev! Appreciate the visit and compliment.
ReplyDeleteteal is closely related to turquoise - it depends on who is looking at it, so it is very similar in meaning - healing and devotion
