It gets Awesome

Less than a week ago We Never Sleep accessories designed by the raddest lady Sarah Beaver held a giveaway for her Shriner's Fez necklace in Amethyst on her tumblr and I actually won.  Here are a few photos from her etsy.
Glorious!

'Shriner's Fez' necklace in Tiger's Eye ( I received a very special one in Amethyst!) above left and the 'Jewel of the Order' necklace above right.

Her 'Shriner-Fez' necklaces are so perfectly made lending a hint of magic from the mystical orders of the Odd Fellows and the ever secret Masonic symbolism to be dawned upon the wearer.  Read more about her inspiration for her jewelry here, it's right up my alley of interest in illuminated knowledge and the elusive orders.  Needless to say I was completely stoked when the package arrived in the mail yesterday!
Here are my photos taken today, I hope they do her sweet necklace justice!

Her wonderfully curated tumblr here and super beautific shop here.  Thank you Sarah!

And if ever you are in Columbus, Ohio don't hesitate to stop by Clever Crow Pizza.  They are amazing people.  Thanks Brooke and Gary for the fun had by all!

Well that's all.  I am still working on my two paintings from the one of my other posts.  But I did manage to make this today:

Good weekend to you.
