Had a dizzy doc appointment this morning and came away very frustrated. This was just a six month follow up after my vestibular rehab therapy (which did nothing but make me dizzier), and while I’m content to just keep things status quo, a few little dizzies here and there but no major spins since July, my doc wants to try one more drug. I’m just not a drug kinda girl, and I expressed this to her. I’d rather be a little dizzy than drugged up, you know what I mean!?! Gives me a valid excuse to be a “dizzy blonde”! :-) But she’s asked me to at least give this six weeks and then if it doesn’t help any further, I can stop taking it and just stick with the mild dose of what she has me on now, which has the lovely side effect of helping me sleep like a baby. Sheesh. Sometimes I think doctors just need to accept that not all things are fixable. That’s about how I feel at this point.
Not Your Grandmother's Pearls
Finally getting around to catching up on some product photography! I have several trays of various pearls and I love pearls, yet I rarely work in pearls! I guess I’m just always drawn to bright colors more, and true pearls don’t have bright colors. I managed to work in a little color in this piece though. The center pendant is actually rose quartz but it blended perfectly with the carnelian and citrine gemstone briolettes I used in the piece. And top-drilled “dancing” pearls make everything fun. I worked this piece up with some aqua chalcedony as well, and it’s just as pretty. How do you like this style? I’m partial to the bow!

Wow!! That piece is gorgeous!!!! I really love it.
I agree with you about the drugs. If you can tolerate your condition without them, its perfectly ok!!!!!
Kelly,
this is FABULOUS! I like the contrast of colors & shapes, but the similar luster throughout gives it a nice sense of unity. Very romantic, too. I'm not a bow person, but I have to admit that it adds a really sweet touch.
I love pearls, too. I was rooting through my stash containers the other night. (I'm actually back to making some jewelry.) I have quite the hoard of pearls. Love buying them. Not so crazy about parting with them.
Well you are inspiring me to get back to work. xo
