it feels good to finish a new piece after a while focusing on other things!!
this one’s part of a commission for a friend, who was inspired by my own snake ring. the bead is a small labradorite, and sterling silver wire. fingers are SORE now lmao

Why are sign-up forms still so horrifically limited in their "Title" options? You want me to give you money but you can't acknowledge that I exist?

Snek!! Can’t believe i haven’t shown off this one yet. The first time i wore this to #PyConAU someone said to me “your ring is so apropos!!!” and it took me a good 30 seconds to make the connection everyone thought was deliberate? (Hi @jrosenbaum.com.au! No idea if you remember that)
Anyway. Snek!

Posting some more old pieces! Still need to make a v2 of this one. Something less likely to snag on pockets and twist itself out of shape. I still love the concept.

first pendant made using the glass from @nora.zone is done! too tired and too low on materials to do anything particularly fancy tonight so instead we have nice sweeping curves.
(I love how much the colour in this piece of glass changes depending on lighting)

pretty sure these are going to make some great little pendants once i get my current project wrapped up. and buy more wire.
one of them shifts all the way from a deep purple to a teal depending on angle, very excited to see how that pendant turns out
glass game tokens from @nora.zone!
