Jewelry Sale: Lions and tigers and moss trolls, oh my!

The sale continues, and will probably continue all month, as my bead store is having a sale. (Mmm, bead sale...) Eventually there will be wire link necklaces, when I find my motivation for snipping and twisting, and a pendant or two.

I'm moving any unsold pieces from previous posts into the latest post, so don't worry about backtracking to find stuff. Shipping is $5 in the US and $7 anywhere else, and I'll combine shipping for multiple items. Matching earrings are probably available, $5 for stainless steel earwires and $7 for silver or gold. (ETA: I don't have any guaranteed non-allergenic ear wires right now. If you have metal allergies or sensitive ears, let me know what you need and I'll see if I can get any.) I also take requests, so if there's a particular stone or color combination you'd like, let me know. (I have bloodstone back-ordered already.)

ETA: (Because this would be useful, wouldn't it?) My preferred payment method is Paypal, to exoblivione AT gmail DOT com. If you'd rather pay by check or some other method (I cannot take small animals as barter at this time--I'm full up), either email me at that address or leave a comment here.

Mermaids of the Neritic Zone - $37

Pearls, labradorite, glass and swarovski crystal on silk thread; 33.5 inches. This is an "As Is" sale because the knots by the clasp are a little crazy. That's what I get for beading whilst drinking and watching Bond movies. For $50 I'll restring the silly thing and get rid of the Thunderball-induced craziness.

Ghostlight by the Dark of the Moon - $65

Blue goldstone, moonstone, sodalite, amber, mother of pearl, and glass on sterling silver; 35 inches.

Tiger's Fancy (or fancy tigers) - $32

Tiger's eye, pearls, and blackstone (or possibly onyx, I'm not sure); 19 inches.

Burning Bright - $27

Tiger's eye, resin, and blackstone (or onyx); 18 inches.

Moss Troll Gardens - $45 SOLD

Moss jasper, amethyst, tourmaline and sterling roses; 33 inches. The scanner is not doing the colors justice--the amethyst is rich and vivid and sparkly, and the tourmaline has more luster in person.

Shades of Sky II - $25 SOLD

Sodalite, moonstone, and swarovski crystals; 15 inches. This is a very snug fit, please be sure you can wear it comfortably.

Icing Sugar - $25 SOLD

Pearls, dyed jade, swarovski crystal, and sterling roses; 18.5 inches.

Another 10 things

1. Bead sale!

2. Last night I finished the scene in Dreams that I'd been stuck on for a week. Finally!

3. My forearms are becoming kind of awesome from the climbing.

4. I have a sleepy puppy head on my thigh.

5. The Mop (who I have begun to think of as Falco, because he's definitely a luck dragon, but too small to be a Falkor) is so amazingly well-behaved.

6. I figured out some important character backstory in Tenderness. (I think adding it may have unbalanced the narrative, though, dammit.)

7. A blueberry danish the size of my head.

8. My puppy is still the prettiest.

9. It was in the 60s all day today, and gloriously overcast.

10. I am not forced to think of tenth thing!

The tragedy of Falco-the-Mop is that he and the cats don't get along. In all other regards he is a freakin' adorable dog and I'd love to keep him, (and, yanno, in for $300, in for the fucking ton) but Siggy and Fafnir have been hunger-striking in the garage for two days, and they are my babies. Alas.

Where's that decanter of sherry?

Dreams

46,170 / 75,100 (61.5%)

And derailed in the middle of a scene by a truly awful transition line that I don't have the brain to replace right now.

Also, Gretchen has her nose shoved into my side and is sighing suggestively, so I think it's bedtime.
