I'm starting to get over whatever illness I've been fighting so now I'm in the mood to start working on some projects. Today I received 3 stones that I purchased in the mail. They are very nice and I am really anxious to wrap them.
I figured I'd wrap the smaller of the stones I got in first which is a nice, light, blue-green, kind of aqua piece of chrysophrase. I figured it would make a great pendant for spring. Typically I never wind the same type design on a stone twice but I might make an exception....when I started this piece I had no intention of actually "sculpting" something, so to speak. I hope I can reproduce the results because I am quite proud of my butterfly. It's 8:30 at night so I had to take the pictures in my kitchen which is really crap-tastic lighting but I just HAD to blog about this piece.
I haven't decided if I'll post this one on my shop yet. Tomorrow I'll take better pictures and just sort of decide from there.
