Tell me, love, who am I fighting for?

On the one hand, I am tired to the point where I want a refund on the entire concept of sleep and trying to write about a movie with a head full of tapioca—both mine and the movie's, really. On the other hand, [personal profile] spatch just presented me with the Kino Lorber Blu-Ray of the legendarily queer Technicolor noir Desert Fury (1947), which I have wanted to see for pre-pandemic ages, and I am enjoying the local hibiscus.

What a glorious image of that glorious flower! There's something about the pollen spilling over translucent petals, the juxtaposition of textures, the translucent and the opaque. It makes me want to get to the workbench and make art.

I would love to see the art that comes of it.

It's going to involve morganite and other beryls, I suspect. Will bring photo if thing happens.

I will wait without expectation and approve of the morganite.

The art has happened, and I have finally photographed it and am about to enter it into my Etsy shop.

It's eleven feet and five inches of beaded artistic reaction to that hibiscus photo. It's called "the art that comes of it". And it has morganite, other beryl, lots of pink opalite glass, and a whole bunch of Swarovski crystal beads now ungettable.

I just have to count up the beads and calculate the price, which is going to be a truly frightening number. (See also "a whole bunch of Swarovski crystal beads now ungettable.")

I'll be back here with a link once the counting, figuring, and uploading is done.

It sounds spectacular!

And here it is

It lives up to its billing. And it's very hibiscus.

The big necklace has found its person! They are delighted with it. I gave them a link to your flower photo of inspiration.
