Week - 25

  I’m having some weird allergy problem with my eyes at the moment and for the past two weeks, seeing clearly has been rare. I tried to take the easy way out because of my eyes, and decided it would be best to just whip up a quick pendant this phrrrrt!,.. Well,..if I wasn’t convinced before, that I’ve finally found my confortable place with wireworking and the new style I’ve been making lately,.. I’m convinced now.
I hated doing this piece, I got so irritated with it almost immediately,. it brought back memories of why I hated these before.  Not so much the making of them, they’re quick and easy, but it’s the actual harness construction that annoys me for some reason.  I’m weird, I know.  Some folk make gorgeous pendants with this style however.  So my annoyance continued so much so,.. that when I put the pendant aside,. I just didn’t want the ugly thing to live,lol and so I popped the cab out and threw the wire into the scrap box. But you’d think that would relieve my annoyance,….. nope,.. I tried to stop the nagging thoughts that one of my children will some day walk into the studio and see that harness and ask me to put a cab in it for them,…. *gasp*,.. it had to be destroyed beyond anything that looks like it could hold a cab.  So I snipped it to shreds,..   and lo and behold,… there was instant relief right there. I felt satisfied at last,lol aaaaaaaand I can honestly say,… that will be the last time I will ever make one like that again hee hee.Sooooh not content to just post that pic for the fsoj, I decided I had better get to and make something I really want to make and hence my lateness, but what an absolute blast I had despite these eyes of mine giving my curry,.. I lost myself in this pendant for many hours,..erm I think about 11-12hrs in fact(over several days) and I think it is my new best piece ever. :]

Big thanks to Robbie and erm,.. Robbie,. :}  you both might recognise something in this piece.
