I was digging through my jewelry tools bag • & found a copper pendant I’d shaped & then never did anything with • & it was SUCH a cool shape i immediately made another one so i remembered how • it’s on the bottom of this pendulum
“So powerful, in fact, is simple string in taming the world to human will and ingenuity that I suspect it to be the unseen weapon that allowed the human race to conquer the earth …” — Elizabeth Wayland Barber, Women’s Work: The First 20,000 Years
They’re not strung on string but they’re definitely strung. I couldn’t resist the reference to one of my favorite nonfiction books. Very much worth reading.
(i’m really proud of the hammered copper at the top & bottom of this one • it just came out GOOD)
• the copper wire is from my brother-in-law, who used to fix diesel generators for a living • to him, it’s scrap • to me, it’s YAY FREE WIRE
• many of the beads came home from Pennsic with my roommate • a talenti jar full of POSSIBILITIES
• there are also beads from my Aunt Ann • & from a friend named Elizabeth • thanks y’all!
• the chain also came from Aunt Ann’s stash • SO MUCH FUN
• this pendulum is 10.25″ long
& that’s it for the year! Everyone here at The Vagabond Tabby is gonna take a nice long nap (ngl most of us are asleep already), we’ll celebrate our various winter holidays, & yeah, probably make more soap.
We’ll reopen January 1st, just as soon as someone manages to actually get out of bed.
