i’m really rosie, i’m rosie real.

new toy!
I received my latest bead delight from Artbeads – this stunning Russian handcrafted pendant, based on Alfons Mucha’s painting Emerald.

Isn’t it beautiful? I love Mucha’s work and the Art Nouveau style. It measures 1&3/8″ long and just about 1″ wide, and is backed with black onyx.

The details in the painting are amazing, and I love the gold metallic paint. I already have a plan for this pendant – I knew what I was going to do with it when I picked it out. So hopefully in about a week I’ll have a completed piece to share.

Artbeads is a great resource for jewelry supplies – they have all the usual supplies as well as some really cool stuff (like this pendant!) that I haven’t seen anywhere else.

Having the house completely to myself for a few hours. Delicious cold sweet watermelon. Sunshine!
