[sterling silver, carnelian & blue chalcedony]
A fresh cluster of Pistola Brooches for girls with vendettas or ladies who like to roll dice and practice deadly force!
Today, whilst recreating in my studio, I got to pondering the pistol brooch I made for myself a while back. I haven’t seen it since that wedding I attended in The Dalles on the Columbia River in Oregon this summer. That darned cherry orchard must have snatched it off my wedding attire…
Anyway, I was pondering pistols, looking out my huge studio window at gentle snow fall and the mountains across the street and suddenly, without even thinking about it, I realized I had sawed out four of the darn things. I festooned them with spicy carnelian, blue chalcedony and sheaves of wheat.
Can you tell I’m traveling home to The Great Northern Plains in two days time???
Here’s hoping you all managed to find a little sabbath for your souls
this Sunday.
I love the advent season.
Loverly loverly,
PLUME
PS Besides acquiring a Christmas tree today, it was a rather uneventful afternoon. I was supposed to have a reporter come by and interview me for the Pocatello newspaper but this small pestering petulance in my nose had me feeling under the weather. Still. Fingers crossed for a swift and full recovery before I jump a plane for Saskatchewan.
Lovely tree…I adore white lights. It's what I grew up with. Mom always did white lights, and we too had birds….not doves but various others:) Speed recovery from the wee nose-bother…so you can truly enjoy Sasssssskattt-chewannnn!
Whoops…that would be 'speedy'…
Ohhhh, Nice guns, I want one! They are so cool, I love the carnelian and the sheaves of wheat on them. Hope you feel better soon! 🙂
Hee heeeee!!! When Anthony was getting some necessary items from the store today he called to say they had long lighters in the shape and likeness of shotguns: I begged him to bring one home: now I can blow on the end like it's an old western when I light a candle!
Guns a-blazing,
Allison
those guns are incredible! i love them!
I full out gasped when I saw these.
AMAZING.
Love your pistols!! Good luck on your interview….hope you start feeling better. A little chicken soup, a fluffy blanky, & a cup of tea works wonders.
Pam
that right there is a six-shootin' delight!
I may be dangerous with those because I feel I do have vendettas! How odd I feel! Itchy nose go away, go away!
I too was looking for an old brooch I got a year ago, no sign, are the brooches running away?
Lucky you, going home…enjoy
xx
Nice guns, indeedy! We must be on the same wavelength or something, as my latest creation also centered around pistols (which is very unlike me). Ha 🙂
Same wavelength indeed Ms Istanbul! I've been making pistols for a while now…it's an old design I return to from time to time!
Thanks for these lovely comments chickadees!!!
Very clever design!
