Jewelry Sale Display Dec11

Here was our display at the Christmas jewelry sale:

Beads!

I know I posted this a while ago after I first made it, but those were such horrible photos that I thought I'd try again. Still not "professional" quality, but I'm by no means set up to be a professional jewelry photographer, and anyway, if I considered this to be a "professional" blog, I wouldn't have nearly the same kind of fun with it. But really when you get down to it, what's so bad about being fun? My hopes are always that people will look at this blog and either 1. be inspired by my art, or 2. want to contact me to buy it. I mean, how cool would that be?
But more than anything, it's just a way for me to record these bits of myself, for myself, and to share.

Anyway.

This is an AWESOME brass and silver bead pendant that Ian made. Talk about flawless and perfect.
