Pendants are coming!

So the fabulous Mia, of chimera_fancies, is one of the most talented fairy tale jewelry makers I know. Her pieces are unique works of art, made from recycled books and magically transformed into something far greater than the sum of its parts. I own more than a few of her pendants. I'm going to wind up owning more than a few more. You've heard all this before. So why am I saying it again?

Because she has a pendant sale coming up, probably starting on or around November 18th (I'll post the exact date as soon as I have it, and so will she). Not just any pendant sale, incredible as her work is. An extra-special, extra-collectible pendant sale. Because, you see, she got her hands on an ARC of Rosemary and Rue. ARCs are not intended for resale; they're transitory things, unable to stand up to the stress of multiple re-readings. So Mia, mindful of the ARC's tragically short lifespan, took and transformed it into more than fifty gorgeous pieces of wearable art. I'm very serious. These pendants are some of the best work I've ever seen from her. She's growing as an artist with every piece she does, and for this set, she really busted out all the stops.

All pendants have been signed by me, in either black or silver Sharpie, depending on the base color. The exact method of pendant sale will be determined by Mia; it may be the random pick method she used for the Halloween sale, it may be something else, but either way, it'll be posted on her journal before the actual sale begins. All pendants will be $22, which includes postage.

These really are incredible. I couldn't be happier, or feel more honored, to be working with someone who does such amazing things.

<sets up her tent to be first in line for the pendants>

Sounds to me like I've got a portion of my holiday shopping covered! :)

Hee.

Because of issues with earlier sales, it's probably not going to be "first come, first served," but Mia will definitely do her best to be totally fair to everybody involved.
This is good to know, and I shall be watchful to see how Mia chooses to run this particular sale. :) <dance of anticipation>

I was a little hesitant about the random-draw method last time, but then I won a kick-ass pendant that I would have missed out on otherwise. With fifty pendants being made, you'll totally get something amazing out of it!
I got one in time for Halloween on the random pick last time! They really are lovely. :)
Good for you!
I really don't need anymore pendants. Really. I don't. I swear. No, I mean it ...
Which is too bad, because these are gorgeous.
Oooooooh.....awesome. I totally <3 my halloween candy-corn-shaped one. :)
Mia does amazing work, and it just keeps getting better.

I'll be sure to post as soon as the sale goes live.
I am really excited about thease!
Me, too!
I read the title as "Pedants are coming" and got a mental image of an army of editors in SS uniforms or something, armed with red pens.

The pendants sound cool too!
They're really amazing. I am in awe of her work.
