"What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness." John Steinbeck

I would like to think that some good and interesting things are happening at night to balance out all of the criminal activity you hear about on the news.  And why couldn't plants have some fireworks going on to celebrate their big events, you know, like "Field Day" or "Aster Sunday". The colors are very sexy midnight blue and gold and if you look at the image with a bit of a squint you can just imagine that late at night, when no one is watching, there is an amazing display of Roman Candles going off in the forest meadows. This is a great one for the bedroom.   I'm not sure why.

I was going through my stash of various projects/things that I've made in the past and I came across a pendant that I made with Ice Resin.  Some of my experiments were pretty good...others were meh...and this one is not bad.  Anyway, this particular experiment is an image transfer on a bezel (originally a pendant bezel - I snipped the loop off and filed it down). I then filled the bezel with Ice Resin and once cured I attached a pin back so that I can wear it as a pin/brooch to hold my open front cardigans closed.

Here's another one of TP's old glass marbles that I've upcycled in this necklace design.  This one is a beautiful crimson red with a tiny bit of swirling (it's a darker red in person - red is so hard to capture with my camera) and again I've used the Tiffany solder technique.  It was fun to make and I'll be listing it soon in our Etsy shop.

This is another in my series of soft soldered necklaces and an idea that I will continue.  I've upcycled a piece of stain glass and soldered little springtime flower sprouts onto the glass.  I like it....and this is one that I will keep for myself.
