While more than two years is hardly antiquity, a lot has certainly happened over that time away. No re-capping! Just moving forward.<br />
<br />
Look! New designs.<br />
The first is most certainly archaeology inspired. I look at this piece and the myths and legends about Mary Magdalene fill my mind. Believe what you will, there is mystery enough to fill a grail.<br />

I am a bit entranced by the whole process of making these necklaces; digging through all my treasures collected over so many years, combining images and shapes and symbols and ideas, it's deep and thoughtful work- and it takes a bloody long time til one is "done"! There will be more of these coming, and I cannot wait to see what will manifest.</div>

I've used a weighty and gorgeously patinated ancient Roman glass fragment as the focal and added a handformed precious metal clay faux bois charm, and a AA grade red spinel briolette. There are black lava stone rounds, faceted prehnite cubes, and garnet red baroque pearls. Everything is linked with sterling silver, and there is a fine bit of sterling chain which picks up where the beads leave off. This is a masterpiece in my eyes.<br />

Organic gems, these ancient fragments are found all over the ancient Roman world, and today the most plentiful sources seem to be Israel and Afghanistan. The glass has been buried for many centuries- some of it even more than 2,000 years. They've been drilled and shaped recently, but retain the gorgeous iridescence that has developed through centuries of chemical reaction to the environment. The climate in the Middle East combines hot temperatures and flash flooding; the centuries of this exposure caused chemical changes in the glass in conjunction with the minerals present in the soil. The iridescence produced is simply stunning, and these shards absolutely become jewels the way they refract the light and change colors.</span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;"><br />

It's not a singularly Gothic look, it's got a strangeling beauty to it. Deep romance. I love you darkly.<br />
Red roses are all fairy tale. Blood stories and twining brambles. A blade, a heart, red dreams.<br />

Sterling silver and precious metal clay accents are a gorgeous touch.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">These ancient fragments are found all over the ancient Roman world, and today the most plentiful sources seem to be Israel and Afghanistan. The glass has been buried for many centuries- some of it even more than 2,000 years. They've been drilled and shaped recently, but retain the gorgeous iridescence that has developed through centuries of chemical reaction to the environment. The climate in the Middle East combines hot temperatures and flash flooding; the centuries of this exposure caused chemical changes in the glass in conjunction with the minerals present in the soil. The iridescence produced is simply stunning, and these shards absolutely become jewels the way they refract the light and change colors.</span></span><br />

For some, they whisper of mysteries waiting to be unlocked, searching for the right keyhole. For others, they are where one's secrets are coveted and the keeper is the guardian of a great treasure.<br />
What does it mean when you give some a key? Are you bestowing answers, or sending them on a quest?<br />
<br />
For me, keys are all the more meaningful the older they are. The wonderment is more amazing and the curiosity deeper.<br />
I have a collection of antique Victorian skeleton keys that date from the late 1800's to the early 1900's, and I am absolutely intrigued by them. Recently it struck me as golden, to pair them with a hoard of seed beads from the same period and I have beaded simple chains for a striking effect.<br />

I'm not-so-good at the blog award thing, and never play by rules as they've been written or requested. But in appreciation of my FAE friend <a href="http://aquariannart.blogspot.com/2011/01/apparently-im-stylish-and-versatile.html?utm_source=BP_recent">Aquariann</a> and the kind way she has turned her thoughts toward me, I thought I would show you my favorite work of art by her.<br />
<br />
And to partially play along, I will let you all in on my most favoritest fragrance in all the world. This is a smell that when I first breathed it in, I was transported. To another somewhen or where, I do not know, but I am inexorably commanded by this scent. Labdanum is this most magical and ancient resin, and my favorite form to date is made by none other than <a href="http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/welcome.html">Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab</a>, which is a spectacular must-visit. Event Horizon makes my eyes roll back in my head every time I put it on. If you read the description on <a href="http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/bb.html">this page</a>, you'll see why!<br />
Another perfumer whom I am in awe of without even trying any of her concoctions, is <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/IlluminatedPerfume">Illuminated Perfume</a>. Roxana loves labdanum...and bees.<br />
<br />
And now without further ado, meet <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/54015234/peridot-dragon-fantasy-art-magnet">Peridot </a>dragon.<br />

The one where those in new love lavish specialness upon one another, where those lonely for love eat a gallon of ice cream, those bitter from love drink a fifth and crush the blooms on the bush, and those old married lovers buy a blender for the house.<br />
<br />
Shall I share some love and roses with you?<br />

I suppose I have been anxious about my skills and ability to do justice to these precious materials, but something in me snapped and I knew it was time to just try.<br />

I am rather well pleased with my first simple attempts. I hope you don't mind me sharing:<br />
