Spinning off to the Netherlands


The small world the internet has helped us create still amazes me. I can create a custom order for a person in the Netherlands, and off it goes - and I've never left my little mid-western town. I can't take that for granted!

The spinning pendant came out great. There was an issue with the stone - it discolored when fired. It was supposed to be blue - tanzanite cubic zirconia - but it turned more of a yellowy amber. I found that the blue is the least heat tolerant of the czs, but had used blue successfully before, so that was a bit disappointing. The customer was great, saying , "The color chose me," which is a nice way to look at it!
