sparkle new year
It's cold enough now that I don't get all sweaty working with yarn, and I've actually got several crochet projects in-progress, but only one (pictured here) has actually gotten itself finished. Everything else is sparkly, and a lot of it's made from pieces I got when I was in Santa Fe.
Baby sweater, as modeled by Samson the Handsome Koala.
More of these! Some set, some not, though all of course can be. (And several I forgot about until after I'd finished taking the first round of pictures, oops.) The images are:
first set: Ancient of Days, William Blake; splashed-ink landscape, Toyo Sesshu
second set: Monte Sainte-Victoire, Paul Cezanne; Last Supper, Pietro Lorenzetti; The Sacred Grove, Puvis de Chavannes
third set: dish with lobed rim portraying Fu, Lu, and Shou, Qing dinasty c.1700; Pioneer Days and Early Settlers, Thomas Hart Benton ; Les Demoisellesd'Avignon, Pablo Picasso
fourt set: The Two Fridas, Frida Kahlo; Nighthawks, Edwin Hopper; Camilla and the Centaur, Sandro Botticelli; Liberty Leading the People, Eugene Delacroix
Glass pearls and spacers, because drmoonpants wanted more plain black and silver.
Shell discs with little shiny flecks.
I picked up some turquoise chunks in Santa Fe, which is a good place for that, and now my only sadness is that I didn't get more.
Some turquoise discs from the same place.
I found some DIY instructions for how to make a bird-nest necklace, so here's what came of that.
This was fun in theory, but I'm afraid it's way too fragile to wear except with greatest care. Maybe I'll remake it someday with wire that isn't that soft.
Earrings! Czech glass and glass pearls.
More Czech glass. The flowers iridesce around the edges.
I got these from SKELETON WAREHOUSE. (I didn't really.)
Little jasper squares, just 'cause.
I like these hematite circles, but it's hard sometimes finding things that fit just right in the middle. These centers, left to right, are turquoise, glass, and jasper.
