"Un-Named Lantern" pendant: uranium glass and sterling silver wirework

www.etsy.com/listing/4411...
A sterling silver and glass pendant, with a single uranium glass bead inside. The bead is a smoothed irregular nugget, and there are several gauges of sterling silver wire looped and wrapped around it, with a loop of wire for a bail at the top, and coils of wire at the bottom. The first four photos show the four sides of the pendant. The last photo shows how the glass bead fluoresces in UV light in a vivid yellow-green.

"Build a World of Minutes" earrings: sterling silver wires, Czech glass coin beads with shimmering spirals on them in shades of amber and wheat with green and rose golden accents, brass sepals enclosing uranium glass nuggets

www.etsy.com/listing/4411...
This is a pair of earrings on sterling silver wires, with a Czech glass coin bead at the top in colors of wheat with a spiral in iridescent greens and rose goldens. Below some tiny spacers come brass sepals sweeping downward around a uranium glass bead in the yellow hue of vaseline (they call it "vaseline glass" sometimes) that glows vivid green in UV light.

"Waiting for the Winter Moons" earrings: sterling silver, Czech glass

www.etsy.com/listing/4410...
This pair of earrings is on sterling silver wires, and each features a puffed coin shaped Czech glass dahlia bead at the top, a sterling silver spacer bead below that, and then an inverted teardrop bead, also Czech glass, in tanzanite blue glass with an etched finish that makes it look blue gray. The dahlia at the top is actually purple glass, and one side has a shimmering purple-bronze finish on it. The earrings look mostly dark blue to purple to black... until the light catches them. See photos and the video for more about this.

Time for a new thread of little wearable artworks. Possibly also a big wearable artwork or two, even.

This is "What the Bat Knows," made from silver wire, Swarovski crystal, tiny silver-colored book charms, and one big black filigree bat.

LionessElise sends you Friday greetings.

The hairbrush in my hand points to the longest bit of my hair, which is now between my hip and my knee somewhere. Closer to the latter, these days.
A fat white person who looks a bit tired but amiable is taking a mirror selfie documenting their cascade of silvered bronze hair (tending more to grey than bronze in this photo) which is now down well past their hip. They are wearing loose blue gathered trousers with gigantic low pockets, and a light blue gauze tunic with lantern sleeves. The outfit looks to be chosen for comfort, and it is indeed comfortable. Nearby is a turquoise banner that says DO MORE OF WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.

A very tired LionessElise sends you Sunday greetings.
A tired-looking fat white person with silvered bronze hair pulled back, wearing blue and orange and pink floral vaguely early-70's clothes, is taking a mirror selfie, resplendent with weird-looking bare feet and sheet metal glasses. Nearby, a turquoise banner says DO MORE OF WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY. (The bare feet look squarish and weirdly flipper-like, with a bifurcation between the second and third toes.)
