Here's one I made for me, finally. I'm a rather organic, granola-eating, tree-hugging kind of gal, so this one isn't as refined as it could be . . . on purpose. I hand-cut everything for an organic, time-worn look. I wear it every day. It has a great feel to it. I love it.
Here's a spread-out view, so that you can read the names. The first picture is how gravity hangs it around my neck.
Here's the back view, with my kids' birthdays. I can re-make pendants like this for about $20 a piece. Of course there are options: hammered edges, polka-dot edges, perfect circles for a more refined look, etc, etc, etc.
This is the view from the door into my studio. It doesn't matter how many hours I spend cleaning and organizing this room you can NEVER tell. There is still no place I'd rather be!
This is a shot of my workbench - notice the mug of peppermint tea, the bag of apples, the telephone, etc., amidst all of my various tools and scraps. Below is a close-up, but not too close!
Next is a view of my "Glass Station." My bead kiln is in the left corner, and my oxygen & propane tanks are in the right corner (below a really cool-textured painting that my mom did in the '70s). In the center is my bench-mount torch. All of those little glass jars in the window are filled with frit, which I use to color the glass.
