A new necklace, really simple -- just mossy branches and raindrops. soda-lime glass.

Other working titles --- could have called it, uh, Ketchikan, or ..... Eugene Rain!!!!

I didn't think you could have topped the last one, but there you go again!! Amazing!! I really like how different it is, I've never seen anything like it, well except the mold on the trees with dew on them!

Great job!

You have deciduous trees in Alaska?

Do you have a site so I can at least point this out to some friends?

I like the presentation alot. Branding it is a no-brainer move... something I never do because as I have been told I am "domesticaly retarded" due to not doing my job fully... etc.

But great job. I like what you're doing and Milissa just peeped it to and liked it as well. Two thumbs up from Aliquippa.

Hmm I didn't think about that rex, this section is log in only. I could change it to public viewable so you can link it. *changes* Sorry about that.

Great stuff...... Thoroughly incredible... -TZ

PS: racer X is a dirty hippy but knows what he is talking about when it comes to glass art.

that is so absolutelty awesome.....thanks for letting us see!

p.s racer x IS totally off the wall, but he is most articulately interesting, and a compliment from him on your glass means something.

Thanks for the feedback! The hardest part was trying to get all the water to drip in the right direction. You have to remember where each bead is going to be in relation to the rest of the necklace, so when it's strung the water goes, um -- down. Also important is weighting the bead at the bottom to make sure it stays in that postion once it's struing -- pretty easy with a raindrop, but hard when doing snowy branches, where the bulk (snow) is at the top.
