The Zebra Fairy


So yesterday afternoon, accompanied by three companions, I made a trip home to my all time favorite store and got some supplies to both start new projects, and finish some long-standing ones.  I was browsing through the different stone pendants and came across this beauty, labeled "Green Zebra Jasper."  I've never heard of Green Zebra Jasper, and the Zebra Jaspers I have seen don't have a metallic quality to the stripes.  This is one of the prettiest pieces of stone I've come across in a long time.  I wanted it to stand on its own, so picked out a soft green fairy ribbon to complement it, and attached it with a triangular sterling silver jump ring.  Both pendant and ribbon were a bit pricey, but I think the images show it was well worth it!  I am strongly debating keeping this in my personal collection.

Margot's second congratulatory piece.

     As I've said before, my sister recently got her certification as a yoga instructor, and I had intended to make this necklace as a congratulations gift.  Unfortunately, the silk ribbon I'd bought to string it on was utterly the wrong shade, so I had to order a different one and delay the piece.  In that time, I made her a fun bracelet in congratulations as well.
     Now the new ribbon is here and matches very well, so it's done!

Bohemian Sunburst necklace

My sister likes all things 70s and/or Bohemian, so when I saw this pendant while perusing the goods at JewelrySupply.com, I knew I had to make something with it for her.  I wanted to keep it simple, so I just added a jump ring and strung it on some plain brown ribbon.  She was kind enough to photograph it for me.  Image (c) Margot Roudebush and Whimsicals by Margot.
