well, i did it. it took me a lot of figuring and finagling, but i got it. i am so very pleased with how it turned out. it has the most lovely feel to it, so solid, but lightweight.
in my opinion, this setting was the perfect way to show off this incredible stone.
it is such an alluring piece, a study in contrasts. geometric but organic; large, but not weighty; faceted on top and smooth around the edges; modern, but so graceful.
you will not believe this stone until you see it in person!
for some reason, i will always connect prehnite with the desiderata, so this one has my favorite “be gentle with yourself” on the back.
i also finished the “the wings we lack” bracelet, similar in design to the “lioness”
my horse’s feet are as swift as rolling thunder
he carries me away from all my fears
and when the world threatens to fall asunder
his mane is there to wipe away my tears.

this bracelet is to honor that beautiful special bond between a woman and her horse.
also, we gave the girls late naps so that they could stay up late and go see some music with us last night.
our good friend, erik (hazel’s favorite!) was there
the crags are awesome!
hope you had a great weekend!
