Hate it when the drilled hole in the top of a bead fractures. It makes the bead practically useless, and these chrysoprase beads just happen to be my favourite!
So what’s a girl to do?
Pretty much this is the best of a bad job. I just couldn’t do a thing with it except try to hold it with some silver. It didn’t work well as you can see.
I think this piece is about to be disassembled and the chrysoprase placed in the hospital holding cell until I can figure out the best way to deal with it.
I will never surrender!
After the chrysoprase tragedy I made a mini me to go with this big me.
Don’t ask me why.
So, I’m still fed up today. Still homesick. Still failing at trying to appreciate where I live rather than where I think I want to live.
On top of that I can’t keep a darn pot plant alive in the whole house!
Even the flora plots against me.
AND
Somebody finished the last of MY cereal!

As I trudge through this dark day I will try to keep my eye upon this beauty.
I believe it’s the only thing that will give me any joy today.
That and my trusty side kick
Wally the Magnificent.
And while I wallow, I will try to remember the words of the wise.
Except I think he used a dash or two of rum to help him forget his problems.
Don’t have any of that handy.
Man!

How about a walk around the block? 😉 Does the body good to walk in all this humidity…. NOT When all else fails, fix a cup of tea, that will do the trick!
Tea! Now why didn’t I think of that! Things are looking up after all 😉
I knew you would figure it out!!! 🙂
I am not exactly sure which part of the chysoprase piece you are not happy with but I am assuming it’s the top point. You can always ask, if you are needing some help. I am just an email or a phone call away. :o)
Thanks Danielle, It’s because it’s a bead and is rounded at both the back and front. I don’t have any packing sand and so I banded the bezel around the sides of the bead instead of giving it a back, The sides are very uneven and it just didn’t look good afterward. It is now in the hospital awaiting something wonderful to happen to it 🙂
Did not know it was a bead – couldn’t tell. I thought it was a cab. My bad … Certainly that would be a challenge. LOL!
Always up for a challenge lol
Does it have a specialist to take care of it?
Just an intern.
