The internet was down last night when I went to post my picture of the day; and today,

pookit and I finished a major project, a set of pieces that we've been assembling for a while. So between those two factors...

First off, yesterday's work. Matching necklaces. The stones are adventurine on the green, and unpolished carnelian on the red. (We think. Buying things at very busy massive bead shows sometimes leads to uncertainty as to what they are.)

Today's. Yes, that's pink. Even I use pink sometimes. Also, the flash went bugfuck with the oddly reflective beads in the earrings on the upper right; they're actually a rich bright purple, not glow-in-the-dark.

And the project I mentioned: Thelemic rosaries. Eleven beads rather than ten per set; central link is a unicursal hexagram; pendant is a star of Babalon. The ten colorways are keyed to the colors associated with the Sephiroth on the king and queen scales. Design and beadwork by me, wirework by

pookit. If these sell, we'll make more; we hope for them to be a stock item.

I'll be getting those listed on Etsy ASAP (would've had them listed tonight, but the weather did not cooperate with photography), as the first night of the writing of the Book of the Law is tomorrow (man, that's a long name for a holiday), and I would like to feed the Crowley geeks. We'll be having some sort of sale on all Thelemic items for the next week or so. I will, of course, blather here again when things are up.

I also have another piece on the bead loom, which ate a solid few hours this evening. Man, loomwork is fine, but I'm going to have a hell of a time pricing it. Those pieces will take me about three or four hours, as much as my most elaborate necklaces, but nobody's going to pay sixty or eighty bucks for a freakin' pride bracelet. I'll have to undersell like hell on those.

And currently I'm just rambling because I'm tired and my brain-to-fingers filter has gone to sleep. Whee! Elephants! Also,

pookit turned a green rubber goat into a pendant. We shall make a necklace of CRAZY with it, oh yes.
