Artist's Comments
For the
 Friday project. Hopefully it's forgivable that I did this in the middle of the week  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  (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* |

"You must do everything yourself." (First rule of Alchemy)
I'm so annoyed at myself. I made my aunt one with an opal doublet and rhodocrosite, then wrapped it before I remembered to take a photo. *sigh* I wanted evidence that I actually did work with a pink stone at some point
