my amazing gift from yourlibrarian

[nenya_kanadka]

I've been travelling since the last week of April and have been extremely curious about what I might receive in this exchange. Came home to day to this amazing set of necklaces from yourlibrarian!



A closeup of some of my faves--but she sent me not one, not two, but EIGHT beautiful wearable works of art!

More pics below the cut (click to embiggen previews).

Seriously, there's eight of them!



Several of them are Star Trek themed...



I love the Starfleet insignia, am charmed by the Vulcan hand pendant, and the Enterprise registry plaque has me going "WHERE did you get these??"

Several are space-themed generally...



I'm wearing the astronaut with Earth reflected in their helmet right now--I think it's my favourite. The big dramatic galaxy one is less of a necklace and more of a royal chain of office and I love it. (Not sure if the beautiful iridescent purpley-blue colour of the beads on that one comes through in the photo, but they're amazing. And the sparkly pendant must be 2" across!) And the little gas giants are cute as heck.

Then there's "I want to believe" and another astronaut, this time accompanied by rockets, suns, and moons:




I can't stop grinning! They're all made with such care and just the most gorgeous and creative choices of beading. (Seriously--I am the kind of person who goes to a bead store and coos over all the gorgeous possibilities for sale, and then rarely actually buys them because she isn't quite sure what she'd ever do with them. I am having what my friend calls "a religious experience in the stationery aisle" right now. Eee.) Even the clasps on the ends are hearts or stars or something! Seriously. So cool.

Thank you so much, yourlibrarian! I'm going to have to find a way to display these when I'm not wearing them, because they're so cool to look at. :D
