L'Homme et la Mer
Homme libre, toujours tu chériras la mer!
La mer est ton miroir; tu contemples ton âme
Dans le déroulement infini de la lame,
Et ton esprit n'est pas un gouffre moins amer.
Charles Baudelaire

This pendant in a shop window caught my eye as the light was being refracted. I moved around it to obtain the most pleasing colours.
Refraction: A ray of light of one wavelength, or colour (different wavelengths appear as different colours to the human eye), in passing from air to glass is refracted, or bent, by an amount that depends on its speed in air and glass, the two speeds depending on the wavelength. A ray of sunlight is composed of many wavelengths that in combination appear to be colourless. Upon entering a glass prism, the different refractions of the various wavelengths spread them apart as in a rainbow.

It was another icy weekend. I didn't go venturing out this time, just stayed holed up in the house watching movies and enjoying some hot buttered rum. :)
This was from the last icy day we had a couple weeks ago. I loved the way the water droplets on the spiderwebs had frozen up.
I haven't worn this pendant for years, but it's finding a new role now as a photo prop. I like it because it has a matte finish, so I don't keep seeing myself or my camera in it. Definitely a bonus. :)
For this week's Macro Mondays group theme, Gold or Silver. For scale, the pendant is about 1¼" across at its widest point.
Originally from 'a church in Edinburgh', we picked up half a dozen of these rather lovely glass pendants from Holyrood Architectural Salvage, swapped out the old plastic cable for some new woven red flex, and found some three-way enamel ceiling roses. (Both flex and roses came from Enamel Lampshades.) Isn't that timber and metal top piece nice? No idea what the church replaced them with...
The hardboard spacers there are temporary while we agree on exactly what shape we like best - Alison quite likes this or maybe a more pure triangle, and I wonder about a simple circular ring. Either way, they'll end up getting cut from some nice plywood, I think...
...At any rate, it's rather different to the kind of lighting design I normally do at work, and also fun to play around with something so decorative on this project for a change!
