Unfinished Business by Caprilicious Jewellery

Hello good people, wherever you are, thanks for joining me today. This week I've had a couple of days off work, after the rigours of entertaining friends for a few weekends on the trot. Our house is usually pretty quiet with just the cat for company. I like it that way, probably because I have to talk to people all day, every day at the day job, and it is nice to come home to peace and quiet. However, a few times a year we have an unaccustomed burst of activity and I thoroughly enjoy myself. 

 I started an art deco pendant and it is just now at the very fugly stage of its existence. This is the worst place to be in as it is hard to muster up the will to pick it back up of an evening. I'm not sure why I chose a most complicated design that will take the longest possible time to craft - there must be something masochistic in my genetic makeup. Added to that, I get bored easily and a design that is repetitive to say the least isn't the most inspiring of enthusiasm. So it's at the point where it ain't looking good, and it is definitely getting boring, and I'm counting the days till it will be finished, yet, I don't feel like picking it up to work on it. Very, very frustrating, indeed!

This is hopefully going to end up an art deco pendant with two more tubes of beads on the other side. The beads came from Poland on Wednesday morning - they are called Miyuki delicas and they are made to absolute precision in Japan. They are all the same size and have fairly large apertures (somehow the word 'holes' doesn't feel right, although that is what they are) and allow several passes of the beading thread through them.


​I shall show you more once it is finished - but don't hold your breath, it may take a while.
​

In between times, and while I was waiting for the Miyukis to arrive, I made a couple of simple little commissioned necklaces. 

And that's me for this week, folks. I am going to persevere with the art deco pendant next week, and hopefully it escapes from the fugly into the OMG! stage - that's OMG how fabulous, not OMG whatta piece of s....!

Have a fabulous week, and I'll catch you next Friday, same time, same place,
Until then
