What I’ve Been Up To This Week...

Other than reading those Song of Ice and Fire books which I can’t seem to put down and torturing myself at the gym- I’ve been catching up on some projects at the studio. (Riding the subway to the studio let’s me read without feeling guilty that I should be doing something else.)

Thank you Mercury in retrograde! I always use this time to get through projects that I have put aside and can’t seem to make myself work on.  I am now up to my eyeballs in 19- yes, you read it correctly- nineteen!! projects.   Two of which I was supposed to finish a year ago.  Everything is going smoothly and I can’t wait to see these finished ‘coz some of these stones are awesome.

Here’s a sneak peak....

Exotic Minerals- yummy!!

I have been spending some time looking at stones lately.  Ever since I gave away my Dendritic Agate pendant- I have been obsessed with Dendritic Agate.  It started after I bought a new stone to replace the one I gave away.  Let me first say the boy am I glad now that I did give it away since I would never have found all of these other stones if I still had my original pendant.
Anyhoo.... When minerals grow within each other I find it super interesting.  I have run across Pyrite in Quartz, Apatite in Quartz, Epidote in Prehnite and so much more.
They are all amazing to me because they are like looking through a window into a mini universe.  So I will be gobbling them up when I can and putting together a new line called "Windows."  Photos coming soon...
