For some time now I've wanted to make myself a hematite pendant, and tonight I finished.  This is super long compared to what I usually make, aprox 28 inches long, but I wanted something I could wear with either high or low necks.  To make up for how huge that one is, I made myself also a tiny amethyst choker.

If anyone wanted to see what I've been working on, here are some crummy scans.  Note to self: get a camera some day!

So,  I'm feeling pretty good about this one, even though yeah, I did have a little hair problem (turns out that you can see the white paper under the black where I cut it, which is fine for large black shapes, but not so great on hair.  I'll touch it up later).   And yeah, the guy looks a little stiff, you know in the awkward way, not the dirty way.  Still I think it came out ok over all.  I have some others in progress but not ready to show yet.

Detail here, the rest behind the cut

So, someone's post reminded me of how I used to make and play with dolls, and also little animals.

Most of these things have been lost.  Sadly.  Most of the "camp kittens" were given away--the only two I have were made later.  I gave dozens to my friends' little brothers and sisters.  My brother has one still--I saw it in his house when he still lived in Maryland.  I made so many doll houses, some were temporary by nature, but others got broken over the years.  One doll house and the doll and the furniture, etc, was claimed by a friend's mother.  I wonder if she has it still.

But I went to the basement and dug through an old trunk and this is what I have left.  Some pictures have a dime for reference.

The thing to look at here is my huge, huge stitches.  Hee hee.

This is very image heavy, so be warned.

Sherman died tonight.  He ate breakfast this morning, but wouldn't eat tonight.  We took him to the emergency vet, only to have him die while they were trying to treat him.

We are obviously very worried about Juniper now.

Not much else I can say or think or do at the moment.
