I finished two Mary Todd Lincoln Brooch prototypes today. A simple version of the necklace; made of 1 large, 3 medium, and 5 small medallions is progressing well. I've got one more pearl medallion to bead before I begin setting bezels. I also spent a couple of hours getting my work area back in shape to begin jewelry production for 2011. A few pearl brooches and a at least one necklace should be ready for the Gallowglass Booth @ ReenactorFest 7
Tomorrow's project will be working on an bustle inspired from a 1886 Bloomingdale's Catalog (see image at the right) and putting together some more placket pockets, as well as working on the hem savers for two new hoop skirts, before packing my striped silk ballgown for the Timekeeper's New Years Eve Gala.
