I hadda dig through a LOT of funky-shaped handblown clear glass beads to find the more-or-less matching ones for this piece. I hope y’all appreciate my patience.
“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.
(okay it took ten minutes, but look, I don’t HAVE a lot of patience)
• 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 13″ 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.
