Jewelry a day challenge- March 26th

Well... It looks like I lost over a month of making- but I'm working on getting back on track.
I *have* been making things, like today's piece that has taken me almost 2 weeks to finish.  Inventory,  getting sick twice, concerts, midsouth con and trying to balance having a social life with being a hermit artist has had me ping ponging. It's a difficult balance- being a part of the world, having a family and friends, working a full time job and being an artist. The day to day is sometimes enough to drain the creativity right out- it's a slippery slope but I am climbing back up :)
So tonight I present for you a piece that was originally a pin/pendant combo and is now just a pendant. It features a rounded triangle lepidilite in quartz cab flanked by 3 faceted pear purple CZS and balled silver.
And since it matches the color scheme, me in my dark elf (drow) costume from Con. :)
