Day 20: Wherein I Miss My Craft Room

I came unprepared. I thought I had packed everything I needed to make three necklaces and a bracelet. Turns out not so much. But my mother's Michael's is really awesome. Unfortunately, not as local as it used to be.

You may remember Sissy and I visited a bead show three years ago. I finally did something with that beautiful stormy sea scene lampwork bead.


As you can see, like Sissy, I am headless. Family trait.

I think this is the perfect jeans and t-shirt necklace! I'm very pleased with it. The crystals that appear clear are actually light blue. The grey beads are Labradorite. I just went for a quick check that I spelled that right (Blogger doesn't think so), and I found the "meaning of gemstones" website. "Labradorite is a gemstone from Atlantis. If you have genes or a previous lifetime in Atlantis, this gemstone will awaken your sensory faculties of awareness, clairvoyance, ingenuity, and perception." This is a necklace made of awesome! Now let me get back to my vacation...

    That bead is gorgeous, and you've complemented it perfectly in that necklace! I'm impressed that you've maintained such a high level of craftiness - even on vacation!

    Gorgeous - and also yes, awesome, with the Labradorite. I have a big Labradorite pendant I love to wear.

    Please send the pendant and the shirt to me; I would look good in them. Especially since some of us are not swanning about Flor Rida and have a serious case of vacation envy.

    That's horrible that you have to stash shop while on vacation! Poor you! lolol

    The necklace is perfect with that shirt! Way to go.

    Slow down with the blogging! I've just had to read 7 posts in one go and you're sneaky - I have to come to your blog as they don't show all the post in google reader!
    This is my favourite out of the 7 so it gets the comment!
    I'm sceptical about the power of crystals/gemstones except for one thing - when I carry them on my person or handbag I get the worst headaches. One time I put some a friend had bought in my handbag to look after them for her, I had the most vicous headache until we got home and I gave them back. Weird or what?
