Back Down the Rabbit Hole. Pin & Pendant. 27/27.

Welcome to my first catch-up day blog! Today you get pieces 26 & 27.
It was bound to happen sooner or later, and in the end, it was the weather that got to me.
Here in Perth we've been experiencing a heatwave. Days on end of temperatures hovering around 40C and it's also been humid. I don't do well in this sort of weather. The result of it is that I've been feeling tired and not especially well. That's the reason I finally went a day without posting an update to my project. True to my promise to myself and to anyone following my progress, that meant I had to catch up  by making two pieces the next day. (Or, if I skipped more than a day, two or more a day for however long it took to catch up again). I was a bit worried about letting it go any longer, lest it prove too hard to get back into the swing of it. Besides which, I was already feeling disappointed in myself for skipping a day so early in the year.

My inspiration also seems to have gone into estivation, but I was determined not to let that get in the way, or to get any further behind, so I took a dip into my emergency supply and pulled out a couple of ready-cast pieces left over from a series I made a couple of years back, titled "Down the Rabbit Hole".

The casts were in rough state, so I had to spend a bit of time cleaning them up before I could do anything with them. I've soldered some findings onto them to turn one into a stick pin and the other into a pendant. With my apologies for the terrible photos, here they are:
