Garnet Necklace - Commissioned Piece

Did a commission piece over the weekend. First piece off of my new workstation :) They wanted something for love, protection and clarity of thought and also something just a notch above conservative.



I wanted something light, something fun, that would work with a sundress, or with a t-shirt.


I chose garnet, citrine and agate and threw in mother of pearl for accent for the stone combination, which worked out perfectly for the beach pallet for summer 2011.

Garnet:Remove negativity, romantic love, passion, sensuality, intimacy, career success, selfconfidence, awareness, commitment, regeneration, order, insight.
Citrine:Success, intuition, comfort, creativity, physical energy, wealth, mental awakening, protection, good fortune / luck,
Agate: Protection, good luck, balance body/mind/spirit, perceptiveness, strength, inspiration, awaken talents.
Mother of Pearl: Mental clarity, intuition, sensitivity, imagination, adaptability, cooperation, psychic, protection of children, purify environment.

Beach Trends for Spring/Summer 2011


Here is James doing some leveling of the hutch. He still has a few more finishing touches, trimming, etc.



But I couldn't wait. I began to organize and get stuff up off of the floor, and empty containers on my shelves. It is still a work in progress, and most likely the way I work, will always be.


What did you do over the weekend?
