rhienellethWho likes green this season? I've got the most beautiful peridot I'm making a necklace and earrings with. You know when the ocean looks really, really green, but is also almost translucent in the little swells and waves? It's like that. I started the necklace last night, but had to stop in order to, you know, sleep. But tonight I am totally finishing it! I love it.
And no, it's not the peridot I ordered the other day, which should still be on it's way to me. I had to go to the used book store yesterday, which is right across the street from the bead shop. And since I'd sold a couple boxes of books (making room on the shelves, you know), I had $ in my pocket when I went in. Always a dangerous combination. And I was really regretting not getting some rondelles along with the briolettes I ordered, so I just looked at the peridot rondelles in the display case - which were exorbitantly overpriced and too damn expensive for me. Luckily, they had some smaller, but still verrrrry pretty ones hanging up behind a bunch of citrine on the wall. The strand might have been incorrectly priced, but I didn't point that out to the sales girl.
They look something like this, but with a slightly deeper green:
And no, my necklace will look nothing like this. I'm not doing a strand. It'll have a lot more silver, a little chain, some beateous green peridot rondelles, and maybe a couple of sparkly, cushion cut lemon quartz dangling. :)
Anyway, long story short, I spent quite a bit of time when I got home just admiring the general prettiness of the beads. Then I figured out two different projects for them, and started on the first. :)
Haven't watched Bones yet - was distracted by visiting our friends and their three week old baby girl. Little Ilea is so cute! But I'll get to it tonight, probably.
OT:kistha, I am somewhat worried and hope you've just been busier even than usual (I haven't seen you post or comment since the monkey post.) So I have to ask: did the monkey get you?? I am only half joking with that, mind. Your reply back about the dangers of working with them was very scary, so drop me a comment to let me know all is well.

Date: 2006-09-07 05:24 pm (UTC)I'm serious this month may get me yet. I'm almost to the point of counting hours and days til the other Dr. gets back. Yikes. Yesterday was nearly a drink during lunch kind of day, but it looks like things while crazy today, should be less stressful. ....so far....
Wish me luck! The 26th of September can't get here soon enough.
