I’m gonna show you why they call me Lightning
Somehow last night, I stumbled on several vintage absinthe ads.
As I understand it, good absinthe tastes something like liquorice, which I hate, so I probably would not like it ever.
On the other hand, I love the ads for it.
I heart the ads for it.
I heart the colours.
I heart the red heads.
Then I found these turn of the century watercolours while searching for etchings of my favorite fairy tale characters.
I heart fairy tales.
Have I ever mentioned that I also heart mermaids?
I heart mermaids.
So here, for your enjoyment and/or criticism, are some hazy photos of pendants which will eventually be part of necklaces.

Mermaids?! Mermaids!! I unbelievably *heart* Mermaids. I AM a Mermaid. With a capital M. I am also in love with pendant #3 and #1. ESPECIALLY #3. Would you be willing to part with it??? How much would it take to create a desire within you to part with such a piece of your creativity? I am at your feet!

UPDATE: When I checked them this morning, the epoxy had dried beautifully (no air bubbles! we hates air bubbles, precious) and look almost like someone who knew what they were doing made them.
More later as information becomes available.
