Schooling was a bit distracted yesterday as we were glued to the news
coming in about our local University experiencing a campus stabbing.
Certainly we're getting used to news like this, but not when it's just a
few miles away and we have friends working and teaching on campus.
Thankfully it ended quickly and much less tragically than similar
events, but it does leave everyone with a feeling of unease for awhile.
It
was a bit after schooling when I had just started contemplating what to
get to making when I got an order in the shop. It was such a relieve to
not only have finally sold a Romanian lace necklace, but also to have a
small piece that needed to be custom made. This is my Flourish pendant
made in Lizbeth harvest orange thread.
I
think that working on this small piece finally put me in the mood to
tat something. I decided that I was actually going to put some
snowflakes in my shop this year. I searched through the many different
ones I've made and designed over the years and settled on one from last
year. I didn't want it to be just the same so I started playing with it.
I guess since I've been doing so much weaving lately, it's not shocking
that I went for a a little weaving to change it up. I also opted to use
both white and a very light gray for a bit of a contrast.
I ended by adding a bit of glitter to both add some dimension to the
piece
and stiffen it for hanging. I'm not certain whether it will be better
to list them individually or as a set, but the plan is to get hooks on
them today and get them in the shop. Then I'll cross my fingers and hope
they're appealing enough to sell. Here's hoping!
