Posiden's Potion

Trying to get back on track.  My inventory is low after my recent show - thank goodness!  It was the best show in two years surprisingly.  I have lots of work to do to build my stock up before I can even apply to another show but have been playing heck trying to find time and space to work in.  I got up early yesterday so that I could carve out some time and space to work in before my kids woke up. :)  I didn't get much time, but I managed to produce this little piece.

It's a whimsical little pendant.  I was thinking of the perfume bottle pendants that I've seen out there ... and whereas I wanted to run with that idea, I wanted to make it a little different than the other bottle pendants out there.  So of course, I netted it up.  Not a huge difference, but enough for it to be 'Delia's take'.  It's a prasolite bead for the body of the bottle (unfortunately you can see the drill hole because the stone is so clear) with a jeweled stopper of green garnet with a single pale green Tundra sapphire accent on the front.  It's sparkels so wonderfully in bright light, but I couldn't get my camera to focus on the bright metals so I had to take the pic in shade.  I am of course, torn over whether or not I should oxidize.  I think I probably will eventually.

In the end, I decided it was more of a potion bottle than a perfume bottle because all the beautiful pale greens reminded me of the shoreline here (I live along the beautiful Emerald Coast) and the netting of course reminded me of fishing and fish nets ... so who came to mind?  Posiden, of course.

I also have a new blog which I will be using for my YOJ journal.  It's on wordpress (beats the heck out of the old blogger!).  The new URL for my blog is: deliastonesstudio.wordpress.com/  Stop by and check it out if ya get a chance. :)

Beautiful, Delia... Yes, you can see the drill holes, but you can also see the netting through the stone, which is really cool! I agree about Wordpress - I switched from blogger to WP and liked it so much I actually blog now!
