So here is a photo of the finished Alchemist Glove that I made for my Clockwork Doll costume. I am overall happy with it, although it ended up looking very different than I thought it would. I actually ended up having the parts to make two hand jewelry pieces, and I will show the other one next week. I decided that I really wanted to get some of my ceramic components into this piece, so it ended up being much more ornate than I had envisioned. It really sort of looks like a henna tattoo when seen from a distance, full of filigree lines and detailing. It fits really well, and I can almost even move my hand. It felt really magical wearing it, like it was a thing from another world. It seemed to have the power to transport me to another place in my mind.

ooh lookie me! I am Customer of the Month over at Vintaj! I wrote a little bit about why I enjoy designing with their natural brass and here is part of my quote that I like: 

"I think the ornate filigree and vintage designs of Vintaj findings hearkens back to times in history when so many things were so beautiful and ornamental. Using these designs brings an instant sense of history, fantasy, and narrative. They are the perfect details to tell your own jewelry story: the perfect ingredients for a fairytale wrought in beads and brass.” 

Isn't that just *me*? Well I am up to my eyeballs in promos and soon the bisque will be cool so I can organize for a big day of glazing tomorrow, so I will keep this a short one today. I will go ahead and list a few Alchemical Adornment pendants that I have in the Etsy shop before I dive into my work...
