Photographing and editing jewelry are some of my least favorite things to do. More than washing dishes. I love love love the process of making jewelry but the other stuff not so much. So last week I made myself photograph some stuff so I can post it on
Etsy so I can actually SELL things!!! These are from my Etsy shop called
Absynthe Jewelry. Here's a taste.....
These are some necklaces with hand painted deity pendants from India. The little paintings are set behind glass and surrounded by sterling silver. They are hung from a strand of coordinating pearls or semi-precious stones.
I used to work in a shop that sold clothing, jewelry and artifacts from all over the world. This shop was one of the first of its kind - long before Pier One brought us mass produced ethnic crap. Anyhoo... working there exposed me to cultures and religions that I would never have known about otherwise. I was always intrigued by the fierce looking multi-limbed gods and goddesses from India. Each god or goddess had many incarnations and an interesting story. These pendants bring me back to those days.
