So I have a lot to say about this but I'm not sure if I'll remember to say it all Well here it goes!:

I really like this pendant! Well except for a few minor things but the overall look I like I was in a fall mood about 2-3 weeks ago (yes I've been in many moods recently) and I decided to do this! Since I moved here, the first thing I noticed were the trees. You see, I lived in Cali since I was young and moved to Maryland. I wasn't exposed to HUNDREDS of trees as I am now. I think this is one of the few things I like the most about Maryland. I like how nature-like it is (not that Cali isn't. There are some areas but I didn't live around those areas) The first fall here was very fun and enjoyable. For the first time I noticed all the trees changing into different colors and I fell in love with it Every single fall I would tell myself to take pictures and capture the beauty/death of the leaves as they changed colors but I would never get the actual chance to. It only lasts for a few days and the only times I really would see the leaves change color would be at my colleges

Anyways, during my fall mood I wanted to capture the setting where all the trees' leaves would change color and remain like this before they dried and died. So I decided to use a variety of colors. I was going to do about 2-3 different colors at first but I felt like it would capture only the part where the leaves were dying. I wanted it to show both the living and dying leaves (I hope I'm making sense and don't sound silly) So I used quite the variety of stones. I hope it's not too much.

I also wanted to add a swing and leaves at the bottom. Obviously I didn't add the swing. As I was trying to add it I thought it would look odd on the tree. I kind of pictured a swing with leaves on it but as I said, it looked odd after I tried adding it in. I think the leaves at the bottom I failed as well. Of course I wanted to experiment on doing different roots (which Is another thing I failed since they kind of look the same as my regular roots) and I wasn't able to add more beads on the roots to make it seem like there were leaves at the bottom. I feel like those two beads around the roots are kind of random. What to do you think?

I also regret doing something else to it. I made this about 2-3 weeks ago but about a week ago I got the materials to oxidize pendants! I've been experimenting with oxidation and I realized this pendant would look perfect if it were oxidized! I'll most likely recreate this pendant using oxidized wire So watch out for them!

I think that's all I have to say about it for now Please let me know what you think of it!
