Peridot Tree of Life Necklace

I made another tree of life necklace - this one is made with bronze wire.  Bronze wire is a stiffer wire to work with - a lot stiffer than copper.  The colour of bronze is a lovely warm gold that will gradually acquire a brownish patina.  For this particular piece I used tiny peridot stone chips.  I really enjoy making these pendant and I'm sure that I'll be making more - and with bronze - even though my fingers were sore at the end of the project.  Now I need to decide if I'll list it on Etsy or start a dedicated section for these pieces here on my site.  Or, just mix them in with my other necklaces. At the moment I can't decide which...

Anyway, here are some photos of the pendant being made and the finished product.

August Bike Ride

Well, it certainly has been a long time since I've posted something here.  I just haven't wanted to.  I've had a strong urge to hibernate and/or withdraw since covid, Ukraine, world craziness and house renovations.  Anyway, the other day, TP and I finally got out for a bike ride this summer and it was a great ride.  I have an old HTC phone so the picture quality isn't the best, but I have a couple to post anyway.  The temperature was perfect and since it was mid week there were only a few people out on the millennium trail.  It was a peaceful ride as we passed by a newly plowed hayfield..... .....and row after row of tall corn stalks.  I don't know the name of this type of cloud, but they added to the enjoyment of the ride. The humidity has passed, the evenings are cooler, but summer is still here.  Ah, but the crickets are out and some of them are loud. “The crickets felt it was their duty to warn everybody that summertime cannot last forever.” ―E.B.
