Last night I finished the revision of the revision of the - well, you get the picture. I've taken this necklace apart so many times I lost count. But I care about the intended recipient as well the one who commissioned the piece, so I want everything to be just right. I like it pretty well, but just in photographing it, I found some things I think I will probably change, that is, if I have any more (or can find any more) of the vintage light sapphire Swarovski art 5000, because the ones I used here are the last I can seem to find in my stash.
A friend of mine gets anxious when she's working on a commissione piece, and, up till now, I hadn't really experienced that. Now I can feel her pain! I have a feeling that there are still more revisions of this necklace left to make. And now of all times, when I've got Valentine's jewelry to make, and some altered art charms coming from Lisa of bostoncharm to work into some more Valentine's jewelry pieces. She does the best of the altered art images I've seen, and has been most helpful explaining the process she uses.
While doing the photography and editing today, I've had youtube going with some of Stevie Ray Vaughan's interviews and AA speeches. Not only is his music the absolute, hands-down, tops in my book, but the man and his words remain inspirational to me. 18 years gone (but who's counting?) and I still can't get enough.
