yes, it has been a while!  wish i could say i have been having a really great time as the reason.  truth is, i just kinda forgot.  been too busy stressing about money again.  what a drag!  but – this too shall pass! (again) ^_^

thought i’d post the picture of the latest pin – which, like the gold one, still needs a backing and back and whatever fringe etc to finish it off completely.  it is my intention to make them wearable as a pin or pendant.  my biggest problem is finding enough matching beads to make the ‘necklace’ on which to hang the pendant.  can’t exactly use those tiny #15’s for that! ^_^  and a long-ish double strand will take a good measure of beads.  will i have to sacrifice and purchase some??  could be!  dangerous territory – those bead shops! 🙂  so, here it is.

blue pini don’t think this one photographs so well – i like it better ‘in person’.  the problem with choosing the beads is it isn’t a true blue – a hint of turquoise.  the dots in the glass are light gold with peach centers.  so, we shall see what i can come up with.
