Liver of Sulfur is stinky stuff!  I tried a new gel formula yesterday and was really pleased with the results.  I’m used to LofS turning the silver mega black instantly, and I wanted a less harsh look for my little nests.  I put just a few drops of the gel kind in my water and swished my goodies around in one big batch to get a varigated look and it worked like a charm.  I can’t capture the variations on camera, but the 3 nests on the left are a soft mix of blues & greens & greys.

These ones are heading to the gallery, but I’ll be adding some to my Etsy page in a day or two.

  1. Oh how I love these! I’m so happy to see that you’ll be listing them in your Etsy shop again :)

    I adore your little nest charms and beautiful coloured pearl eggs.

    I just saw this concept last month on a bracelet celebrating ‘mama bird’, and as my oldest son was getting ready to depart for university an ocean away, that piece just called out to me; it should be arriving soon. I wish I had seen your pendants first, because I think your gray pearls are beautiful and suit me to a tee.
    I might just have to treat myself to another pendant…

    I also love your teal acorns and I’m sorry I missed seeing your give-away. I hope you will list them in your shop again.

    You are indeed talented, and I look forward to dropping by again.
