I’ve created another donut.  Seem to be stuck on the shape for some reason!  I have one or 2 more “in my head” before I’m going to move on to some different shapes.    This one.. I finished off when my mother was here looking after my little boy.  We had some fun deciding which cabochons to put into the bezels.  She doesn’t know it yet, but I’m thinking of making her a piece as a thankyou gift for all the time she has spent looking after my little one while I have been at work.   Now I know what color stones she is going to like.

I took my pendant along to Hadar’s course (must write a post on that soon..) and got my pendant fired while I was there.  I’m thinking that I didn’t put enough vent holes in it, as part of the side blew out.  :(  Anyway, I patched it here at home (now we are in mid semester break - I have a little bit of time!) and torched fired it.. the patching worked really well, and the piece looked good.  Some aura 22 and LOS, and a few orissa garnets.. and Voila!

Finally got it fired and Aura applied around the inner rim and outer band as well as the inner of the toggle. I put a rock crystal in it for the photos, but I have a black tourmaline rutilated quartz sphere coming from China.. hope it fits!
