Artist's Comments

For the :iconartisancraft: Friday project. Hopefully it's forgivable that I did this in the middle of the week :p

14K gold fill, rutilated quartz, almandine and rhodolite garnet.

Now up on etsy: [link] also has smaller images, but a few more views. Including my attempt at an artsy pose on a pumpkin shot...

I'll admit the vinage got away from me here. But it's growing on me :D (Okay, I'm very sorry, but I'm on lots of allergy meds, bear with me!)

As usual, one attempt at an artsy shot and then a hell with it hand shot to actually show the colors. Fun clear rutilated quartz with an almost star like cluster towards one side, nice and sharp. Carved garnets showing up again, and a really dark almandine garnet cab. I hate to say it, but there's a jellybeanish quality to it. Looks dark almost to the point of matte, then the light hits it and *boom* dramatic flash of *RED*

Beautiful :) I love the dual stone wrapping, and that vine is so much fun :)

A heavy hammer ostenibly used for construction. Great for getting that song out of someone's head, as well as anything else inside.

Thank you. I'd like to think she'd have something shiny to keep her company during the winter.
