"Blog Like It's The End Of The World" day was fun. In my mind, the person at the door was ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sbrungardt, and we fended off zombies katana-style until daybreak, at which point we rested, and awoke to find the whole thing had been a dream, except that we'd apparently shared it and it was a day later on the calendar than expected. I, unlike some people, do not abandon my significant others to the evil undead. *eyes Skyler shiftily* Okay, so we didn't work out our canon before posting. Next time, we'll do that. At any rate, I was happy to put my new icon to use.
Today finds me busy busy. I spent last night working on "Eve," and it's mostly done. It turned out to be warm, burnished, almost-Autumnal colors. I used goldstone, poppy jasper, copper-dyed pearl buttons, and brecciated jasper. There's a brass leaf iridized green, a handmade gold and red polymer clay apple by the very talented Gabriel, and of course, the requisite snake. I'm really pleased with it overall, but I might re-string it and place the apple a little higher up on the strand. It's heavy, and even though the two strands of the necklace are not supposed to "nest" perfectly, I don't want it to look unbalanced. I mean, it's fine as is. But you know me, I'm a bit of a perfectionist.
But! On the exciting front: I got an editorial write-up on The Nest! I'm not engaged or married, so I'd been totally unaware of "The Knot" or "The Nest" until Sara and Mark both exclamed, "dude, that site is huge!" So. YAY. Exciting. Thank you, Heather! And? One of our clients at work just called to ask if I could make something special for his wife.
This means the Etsy shop will be opened before I have a great camera. At this rate, I need something to organize my stuff that's a little bit more professional than just selling it off my LJ page for friends. That will be my project tomorrow night.
But good things are happening, guys. Good things.
