This is me getting ready for the Gathering:

Yup, this is me - hands over my head wondering about the changes I'm about to make to the necklace below. I knew it was the wrong chain for the bottom but then decided I'd be better off making a solid drop for it. More consistent to the vision of the work.

Please excuse the dental floss - it's what we put under stones that don't have a hole in the back - otherwise you can't lift them back out.

Finally, a more finished piece! I like the solid drapes better than the chain. In the end I am sandblasting a bead that will be capped and hang at the bottom. It's actually a sweet little necklace. I'm giving it to the ISGB for the conference. Silent Auction. I hope it raises some money for whatever their future plana are. They're a great group.

These are other pieces I've been working on, not set yet! I'm finding the reflectors simply delicious to work with. They're antique and reflect the light in such a beautfiul way. And, of course, I'm going to a glass conference so it's doubly cool that they are glass and a glass that I love since they are bike reflectors and the very same kind that my grandfather tightened onto my bike.
Okay, onward and upward. Only 7 days until I hope aboard that airplane!
