i decided to order some more yellow so i'm waiting on some honey calcite, yellow apatite, and pale yellow zircon to work on the other part
the yellow arrived

and i found a yellow sapphire bead and what i think is a piece of libyan desert glass?
i have enough to work with n bling out a small crown tho, for sure
the hood n sleeves are also done

i think it's done? at the very least the compulsive urge to tweak it is gone
i was tired n wrong
after getting some sleep n not hovering hunched over bead stash i looked at it again n it was begging for blue topaz n opal n such
i picked 2 flashy ones to use as accent beads

v flashy
n then after i got the first strand done n tried to loop the second through the opal accent bead, tragedy struck

see it woulda looked like this but with the middle yellow bead at the bottom where the opal is, and the opal would've been where the yellow one is... if the opal hadn't broken

when it broke it left slack in the middle of the bead strand and i had to cut off the whole fucking strand, then finish the one with garnets, work the thread back to the blue topaz strand and re-string the whole thing

that was the end of the complications tho
the crown looks nice on him but nothing a little re-situating wouldn't fix

aaaawww he's just a little guy... just a smol dude

the crown is appropriately gemmy too... all the tubey beads are just colored glass but the skull is carved freshwater pearl, the yellow on top is sapphire, the bridging gradient beads are grandidierite, the points on top are herkimer diamond (which is a lie it's a type of quartz but it's from new york), the yellow smol beads and the round are from the yellow stash purchase above, the dark red's garnet, the black on the bottom is spinel, n there's blue topaz n zircon.
