blurg.

hello friends. i apologize for my long absence. i've been working on lots of jewelry and we took a trip to chicago last weekend. here are some pictures i've been meaning to put up. 

i hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the gorgeous fall weather!

 something from my aunt fatin that i attached a chain to and have been wearing as a necklace.

 a bracelet i made for miss reina with one of the druzy quartz stones i recently loved and bought.

 a bracelet i made for myself which i subsequently gave to jehan while she was visiting. those are agate beads and a pave ceramic bead that's a beautiful shade of midnight blue..the picture does not do it justice, unfortunately.

 one of the many bracelets i've been making thanks to andrea!

 a knotted lariat necklace i made using the gold, silver and oxidized silver plated pyrite stones i have.

a close-up of my halloween costume from foof's bachelorette party last night. i was a fairy. my coworker, jeff, made me look ethereal and glittery! i absolutely loved it and wouldn't take my makeup off until i was almost falling asleep.
