Reply and I'll make you a cool necklace or bracelet

[sqwook]

Hi! I'm starting a project, and you can be the recipient!  If you want, of course.   Just answer these questions:

1. Would you want or wear a piece of jewelry in this-type style:

(thank you, random google search)

If yes:
2. Necklace or bracelet?
3. Metal: silver-color, or antiqued/patinad/brone-ish/brass-type color, or dealer's choice?
4. What are some of your favorite stones and colors? And are there any no-gos?

I can definitely do several of these, though I probably can't do, like, 100. Since I don't have a 100 friends on LJ anyway, I think I'm ok just making this an open offer. :)

Edited to add: Making a tracking list here for myself:
1. L- need to confirm - fluorite
2. lizdmg - lapis
3. rjlona - amethyst (need to buy)
4. transfiguration - blue goldstone (need to buy)
5. nalathilion - Fluorite (need to buy)
6. pumaviking - garnet

1. Yes!
2. Either
3. Silver-color
4. Amethyst, blue goldstone, moonstone, garnet, anything purple (duh!)

Nifty!

I absolutely adore the necklace you made me years ago, and I wear it often.

Yay! And this one'll be on wire, so theoretically sturdier. And I am shocked, shocked by your answers to the questions. You were on the list anyway in my head already. :)

I'm not predictable, I'm consistent!

[sqwook.livejournal.com]

I know!

Yes please

[lizdmg.livejournal.com]

1. Yes
2. Necklace
3. Silver-color
4. Don't know any specific stones. Like blues, greens, reds, purples, etc. Not too big on browns or tans.

This is totally awesome!

Sweet! And hello & welcome. :) *hug*

Yeah, all my friends love this spectrum of colors. The one I'm making for myself is a fiery carnelian.

Blue goldstone - it probably won't end up being that; I'm not a fan of goldstone, since it tries to pass itself off as a stone, when it's actually manmade glass. I have no problem with manmade glass, I just wish it had a different name. Wikipedia tells me I shouldn't call it its alternate name of "aventurine glass" because that's confusing, but whatever, it's confusing/misleading already. Another alternate name is apparently Stellaria, which is also nice. I should lead a one-woman charge to change the name.

Lit from within - hm, will have to check prices before making any promises. But there's lots of lovely options for deep rich colors. And who knows, maybe I need to give the goldstone a break. It *would* be lovely. Ah, decisions...

at the Cleveland Museum?!? AAAARRRRGGGHHHH and it closed today! NOOOO! I've just been researching tiffany glass today, too...

to clarify, i have nothing against glass either, it's just that i love stones A LOT. I was one of those kids whose eyes never left the ground.

That is pretty much my style! I make my own jewellery so I have a ton. But, if you feel like making something, I am in!

1. Necklace
2. Silver
3. Favourite stones: fluorite, aquamarine, chalcedony, amazonite, lapis, london blue topaz. Not that I expect any of these stones! So basically blues, watery greens, purples. I have a thing with translucent beads lately.

I don't like colours on me from the orange - yellow spectrum.

Oh, neat! Do you sell things, or just for yourself? I'd love to see stuff you've done. I don't sell things, I do this on the side as a hobby-- it's more productive than tv/internet, which leaves me feeling blah. Then I decided I couldn't just make jewelry just for myself, hence this project. I recently learned how to gallery-wrap, so I wanted to practice it.

I have sold stuff. I haven't gotten organized yet with an Etsy shop or whatnot ... hopefully I will have that going this year. Of course the bead obsession started off with making stuff for myself - not being able to find the 'right' piece.

If you can handle another - I'd love one!
2. necklace - i never wear bracelets
3. silvery
4. i love deep rich colors, red in particular, but also green and purple and blue. and moonstones. not so fond of browns and oranges and yellows.

Cool! I'll do them in order, and if I hit a wall, we'll see. :)
