The pendant with the gorgeous opal discs and long lovely pearl is done and about to go out. I got a good photo of it and will put it up as soon as the woman who commissioned the pendant receives it.

This is a photo of the opal discs and pearl just to remind you of what is to come.

And this is my latest Pandemic Shadows image. I loved the contrast between the strong tree shadow and the delicate purple flowers. I feel like it tells a beautiful complicated story that the viewer chooses.

I was lucky enough to find some drilled opal discs many of which are stunning. I was hoping to photograph the two designs that I made with them, but they turned out not to photograph at all well. I will have them in San Jose.

I made a lacy design in gold and then used gold wire to made an additional lace pattern using the opal discs. I had originally intended to use unusual pearls, but I found the opals before the gold pendant was finished and used them. They worked out far better.

And I've had a long 14kt antique art nouveau chain forever, wailing for the right thing to do with it. It was much to beautiful not to wait for something perfect,and the opal discs are perfect. I put about 10 of them spaced out appropriately on the chain.

I spent the afternoon working on the settings for small stones,in among other,things my opal mosaic ear cuffs.

And since I don't have a jewelry photo today here is a photo of George and an orchid plant.
