The weather outside has been very bipolar. One day, it's sunny and 50, the next, it's below zero and snowing. Welcome to Colorado ;)
I had a great opening week in the new shop seeing both old and new customers alike. I barely had time to do anything extra that wasn't pricing, bagging, tubing, etc, but I got the chance on Friday to set everything else aside, and just bead. Here's what I came up with:
I love them. No, really. I had a great time wearing them the next day, and I may wear them every day for the next month or so....or longer.
I can't decide what to call them though. I posted the question on Facebook, and my friends came up with a ton of great ideas including (but not limited to): Mystic Cascades, several variations on Orion Cascades (but I already have a pair named Orion ), Constellation, Shooting Stars, Trifecta in Crystals...the list goes on and on. My friend Julianna of Julianna's Wardrobe thought that they reminded her of often-sparkly woman who does Aerial Hoop performances, so I looked up different names for that, and found that Lyra and Cerceau refer to the performance, and both literally mean 'hoop'. I kind of like Cerceau, but I'm still debating. What do you think?

Cerceau is very pretty, and would be a simple name for them :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you have gotten mostly settled in and actually got to make something.
Thank you. I like the simplicity of it too. And I'm so happy that I actually got to make something my first week open. Maybe I'll have to make it a bi-weekly ritual eh?
ReplyDeleteHow would 'Cerceau' be pronounced? I think my brain wants to add in extra letters or sounds. lol! I kind of like Lyra myself, but that may only be because I can't manage to mentally pronounce the other! ;)
ReplyDeleteThey are stunning though!!!
I'm so excited for your new space. I hope to make it in eventually!
ReplyDeleteMelissa: Cerceau is pronounced SairSew, and Lyra is prounounce leerah (only the r is the back of the throat French R if you know what I mean). You can type in either word here http://translate.google.com/#fr|en| and press the listen button on the French side to hear them better :)
ReplyDeleteBuffy: Thank you so much. I'm settling in a bit, but the place is still a mess. I have no clue where many things are right now, but hope to remedy the situation soon.
