Description commissioned especially by as a bday gift for a friend. said friend is reportedly thrilled with it! which bodes very well for me.

all art nouveau copper pieces, save for the final which is a special ordered tibetan prayer locket (comes complete with miniature prayer in tibetan and sandalwood incense). the locket is detailed on both sides, so I had to show them. really a wonderful find! the beads are primaries in amber druk beads, dividers in genuine 5mm garnet, with 7 genuine amber accent beads. :whew: the locket is held closed with a contraption I came up with . . the locking beads are garnet czech fired glass beads.

thanks hun! it was tricky . . . wasn't sure how well they would meld, but it turned out not so odd after all. I was actually worried it would be awkward on, or worse, look freakish. and I kick myself for not getting a pic of it on before shipping it out! it actually looks great on. hangs very nicely.

Oh wow.. what an awesome piece my dear.. I love the glow to this with the amber and copper!

And dude.. that is a very cool find in that locket! Where'd you come across it anyway?

thanks sweetie! the gal this went to actually owns my Aurora rosary as well . . so she is fond of the combination.

believe it or not, ebay. seriously . . . it was a totally random find. I was looking for an attractive Ohm pendant in copper, and this baby came up. my eyes about boggled. (which hurts!!) after a brief consultation with JL, she decided it was perfect. thing was practically black when it arrived . . thank goddess for my Dremel!! it practically glowed after it was all buffed and polished up.

mine too . . . must be my ancestry. all the color, all the intricacy . . it just snares me.

Painfullyiced In reply to redLillith [2008-03-05 17:24:56 +0000 UTC]

haha i dont know about ancestry on my part... im apparently like hienz 57... but perhaps its the 'gypsy' part of me from grandma's side, because she always gives me runes and stuff like that, without even knowing what they mean (or so she tells me... ive always wondered if she really does know haha)

and I love your quote!

I was looking at it this morning, and thinking about it...
very suiting for my family.
grandma would always ground mom whenever she used the word 'boring', and i didnt hear what it was or what it meant until the 5th grade when my peers would talk about being 'bored'

so i really liked it

I am Irish/Scottish/Welsh/German/Danish with just a little American Indian on my father's side to make things more interesting.

why thanks! it's something I started saying years ago, because I got tired of trying to explain to anyone all the things going on in my life. and I have never been bored . . not once in my entire life. though, there are times . . . I secretly wish it would happen just once. who knows . . I might enjoy the novelty of it!

its happened on occasion to me, when i find myself with nothing to do... mostly at my last job.. it was the night shift at a hotel, and theres not a whole lot you can do.. but i always word it as 'dull', never bored
haha

and that is an interesting mix

we think that my dads father (they never met), was french... but we;re not sure on that...
i know theres noriegion (sp?), whatever grandmas gypsy is, .... darn... i can normally remember things, but im still not awake yet... theres about a list of 5-6 top ones, nd then the rest is unknown
haha

I don't even know dull! I always have a full plate + bonus lists, so yeah . . . lol.

we only know ours because my maternal grandfather was interested in tracing the lines back, and then I did some digging on my father's side.

oh I know what you mean hun . . but on ebay right now there are some really amazing looking egyptian lotuses, mini-basts, and ankhs. the variety is rather sparse though . . . which sucks!

HiddenRelevance In reply to redLillith [2008-02-22 18:29:46 +0000 UTC]

Yeah- most of the stuff I'd found was just slight variations on that theme.. only like in gold..lol

Hmm.. we'll figure something out for em eventually!

Do you want to pick another trade though while we both look for this one?

redLillith In reply to HiddenRelevance [2008-02-22 19:06:47 +0000 UTC]

the ones I saw on ebay were in gold or silver-tone. and scarabs! forgot to mention those. saw some really wonderful scarabs - wings up and all. they are selling in sets there, like 6 or better, and the prices for the most part were reasonable.

yeah, we'll get it . . it's not like there is a deadline! lol

hmmm . .. . lemme think on that . . I am actually re-designing the winter chokers right now (found something really cool to do with them!). warned you I might do that! lol

And oh? Why am I not surprised lol... can't wait to see though.. it sounds very cool!
