Purple

.5″ x 2″, glass

Is it possible that I haven’t made a purple-themed pendant in all these years of posting pendants? This week two different people asked me to make more purple pendants, and I thought about why my very favorite color doesn’t show up as much as it should in my work.  I’ve leaned hard into glass and metal, both of which are hard to make purple.  Glass can do a lilac, or a deep reddish-purple, or a deep blue that leans purple, but not the kind of royal purple that you think of when you’re looking for the purple crayon.  So this pendant combines many of the purples that glass can do.  If you squint maybe you’ll see crayon purple.
