laurieopalI've finshed the "Glorious Bug" design from Lois McMasters Bujold's book "A Civil Campaign". It's my guest of honor pendant for Wiscon this year. Next year I’m doing a pendant from Alaya Dawn Johnson’s work. Photo 0f the "Glorious Bug" is below.
I did an experiment that succeeded really well to create the iridescence on the bronze. It varies by the lighting and each one came out a bit differently. Unfortunately I'm not sure I can replicate the conditions so these may be the only iridescent "Glorious Bugs" I can make. I also have a few other iridescent bronze designs including a dragon.
Life threw me more complications and delays then usual these last 2 weeks but the jewelry and the stones are (finally) finished and packed. So I now get to do everything else I need to do before I leave, including post here.
And I have a group of new designs including an ocean polished Baltic amber design among others.

Iridescence bronze, approximately 1.75"
I'm excited about going to Wiscon and looking forward to seeing everyone.</
