At least, I hope you are watching this from Livejournal, that was the idea of syndication.

If you are checking this out from LJ Land, I am a jewelry designer and artisan. So far my work involves polymer clay, semiprecious stones, seed bead weaving, and wire wrapping. And I am available for custom work.

My other websites are QueenoftheCatPeople.com, and an Etsy shop also called QueenoftheCat People.Etsy.com.

Enjoy the shiny things!

Opera Dress

Opera Dress

[For sale here on Etsy]


IMG_2150b

Inspired by the novel Palimpsest, by Catherynne M. Valente.

IMG_2155b

"Casimira's eyes move appraisingly over November, who feels very much like a child in her lavish clothes.
'The dress will do, I think. Next time I will know better what suits you.'
'Do for what?'
'I am taking you to the opera. How else shall we get to know one another? That is why you needed a dress. I do not care much for fashion, but a dress is like a sail, it must be held before one, colossal and dazzling, if one is to get anywhere at all.' "


IMG_2157

Onyx, cobalt blue and golden glass crystals, bees and black cinnabar pendants shine and glitter amid royal blue ribbon. The necklace is 20.5 inches long, with a sterling silver toggle clasp and findings.
