Untitled Blue Quartz

( Read more... )

So I fixed my first blue quartz necklace. I still need to come up with a name for it. I am sure that something will come to me in time.

So about these pictures… I put on the same black velvet shirt each morning to take them. I am wondering if it is the best thing to wear when taking them. The colors are a little off and I am still figuring out what to do about that. Next time I should take the photos earlier when there is full, rather than indirect sun, in my porch. As usual the image is under the cut and I posted the photo to tumblr (because that is so darn easy).

Under the cut you will find another photograph of the blue quartz necklace. This necklace is now named courtesy of Frostfox. As long as I am writing again about this piece I will note that it is quartz crystals with hematite beads strung on coated stainless steel wire. The friend who gave me the quartz beads had no idea what they did to them to produce that extraordinary color and we both joked about it being something hideously toxic as I worked on this necklace the first time around. I finally did some internet searching and discovered that it is apparently a titanium coating, so not as scary as I feared.

This photograph came out somewhat better, but I need to come up with a more reliable way to get consistent photographic results. Perhaps wearing something white or grey instead? Somewhat larger photo available at Tumblr.
