Dragonfly

[laurieopal]

..

I put this dragonfly pendant away for Simran quite a while ago and just sent it to her registered mail. She sent me this photo to let me know that it had arrived, with a note that said:

"It arrived!!!! 

 

Thank you!"

I thought it looked really lovely on her.  The body is a stunning opal and the head is a deep red antique Hungarian garnet.
 

 And a side bar about the painting that I thought I would share:

"Side note:

The photo was taken in my mom’s kitchen, and the painting on the wall behind me was painted by my grandmother. My mom’s mom was a medical illustrator when young, and would pick up painting commissions for most of the time I knew her, mainly compositions incorporating people’s photos. The still life was likely created in a class (she was a lifelong learner)."

I thought the painting quite beautiful.
 

I'm working on some waxes for jewelry I'll be bringing to folks at Balticon on Memorial Weekend. The photos will not go up til after they receive them. It's keeping me very creatively busy.
