Leah Hoffman Jewelry Design: Loving the Labradorite

A few months ago I went a bit crazy and bought a whole lot of labradorite. At the s-l-o-w rate I'm making jewelry these days it seems as if there's no possible way I'll ever use it all. What a GREAT problem to have! I'm like a kid in a candy store, but for the record I really hate the use of words like "yummy" to describe polished rocks.

Anyhow, I managed to get a couple nifty pieces made over the past week or so.

The first one was lovely on a black leather cord, until you tried to actually wear it and the darn thing wouldn't lay flat. I had to give in to chain. It's still nice on a chain. Some Jam-Band types (who seem to also love wire wrapping, which I discovered some time ago) seem to this this piece has a "Save your face" Grateful Dead mascot quality, which I totally saw even before it was pointed out to me.
