Ready for Wiscon
May. 22nd, 2017 07:01 pmI’m almost ready. Most things are packed and tonight and tomorrow I’ll be finishing up.
I finished my guest of honor pendant for this Wiscon. It’s a steam punk prosthetic hand from Nisi Shawl's remarkable novel "Everfair". It's in dark bronze and unfortunately doesn't photograph well, but people can see it there. I'm really happy with it. I did an experiment with gears that worked!
I've made one each year since I first decided to do it. Pendants so far are from the work of Ursula LeGuin, Lois Bujold, Vonda MacIntyre and now Nisi Shawl.
The necklace below is from the collection of Tracy Schmidt. it's sterling silver and diamonds with silver fresh water pearls. The stones came from a number of traditional pieces she inherited, all of them quite small jewelry with stones of varied sizes.
The necklace was challenging because each piece was designed both to stand along and to work with the other necklace components in a way the complimented all of them. It was complicated and I loved making it.

I'm looking forward to Wiscon and seeing so many people i like!
