It's been such a long time since I blogged and I don't even have the excuse of having moved over to Instagram! I've just been unmotivated and rather preoccupied with other issues and I've really not been in the right frame of mind for being creative. However I couldn't give Christmas a miss, so lately a little crafting has been happening. I made some silver pendants last week, the ones at the front of the block are white because that's how they come out of the kiln - they need to be wire brushed to bring the shine up like the two at the back, and then they all need to be sanded and polished.
The one at the back of the block I made for myself, from a mold I made of a lump of quartz rock. I finished it last night with some green onyx stones (right-hand photo) and it will match perfectly with a favourite winter top of mine. The smaller pendants are Christmas presents - it won't take long to polish them and add a jump ring to the smallest one. I'm going to have a go at soldering the jump ring closed if I can - it's not something I've ever done before but I've seen the Hubs soldering and it doesn't look that difficult!
