And another necklace

[ellarien]

Sometimes the beads just tell me what they want to be and how they want to go together. Sometimes I spend a few days noodling them in my head before the design takes shape. Sometimes they hang around for months, waiting to fall into place. It's a bit like writing, that way, though so far the timescales are rather more compressed.

This one -- tiger eye, brown shell, brown ceramic -- was one of the first kind. I bought the beads this afternoon and put them together as soon as I got home.

Thank you! I suppose the beads do look rather planet-like. I have some lovely variegated jaspers in my stash that remind me of those planet-pendants in one of Bujold's novels.

I've been knitting since I was very young, but mostly in prosaic, cheap-and-cheerful acrylic yarns that don't particularly speak to me.
