Description
Coated copper, green girl studio pewter bead, geode slice.This one has been a sketch for an embarassingly long time. I got the beads ages ago, too heavy for earrings (I still want to make cute bat earrings for myself...) so I thought it'd be so much fun to put it in a little geode slice 'cave entrance'
Which then jinxed my chances of finding a geode with a hole big enough for a long time.
I've had so much trouble with this for some reason. It was kind of connecting things backwards/upside down to my usual method and that kept throwing me. But here he is tucked in his new home and I think he's pretty cute. Even if the combination of pewter bead texture, flat sliced geode and sparkly crystals at an angle have been a pain to photograph
He's about 2 1/4" by 1 1/4"

It also prompted a bit of white nose syndrome research on my part, so related blog entry: magpiesmiscellany.wordpress.co…

The upside down element is making me nervous to try it again. It was seriously annoying

I really like this and it was worth the wait for the geode as it gives him a home. A really nice piece.

Thank you! I wasn't sure if it'd be clear enough from a distance or have enough contrast but I had to try it.
