I’ve been making quite a bit recently, at least compared to my relatively part-time making history.
I find that I’m more productive if I’m working on two pieces at a time – I can tinker with one while the other is in the pickle, etc. I think this is more efficient than making two pieces in succession.
Most of what I’ve been making has been for others – Lord Coconut, Studio 20/17, and two commissions (that I’m SO excited about, and will share more about soon).
So, while I was working on one of my recent commissions (again, SO excited!), I put together a sweet little pendant using one of the delightful opals in my stash.

It’s always nice to interleave making for others with something that’s just for fun.
I love how spooky opal look when they’re scanned!
