Citrine

Citrine is November's birthstone. It is a variety of quartz with colors ranging from pale yellow to brown. It's nearly impossible to tell cut citrine from yellow topaz visibly. Citrine has ferric impurities and is rarely found naturally. In fact most commercial citrine is artificially heated. Here are some citrine/citrine inspired handmade items.

Handmade Movie Challenge 05.06.09

This is the Handmade Movie Challenge for 05.06.09 and it's another easy one. For those who have yet to play hopefully you'll be able to get the hang of it and it will be easy to pick up on the clues of the challenge and how the game is played. They will be getting harder from now on. Challenge: Guess this movie. There are handmade items for each of your clues, the clues may be in the photos or one word from the titles themselves. This was another great movie that was made in 1980. There may be other clues hiding in the right sidebar under My Favorites. I will not enable comments until the next post where I will reveal the correct answer. Have fun!! If you'd like to see last week's movie challenge it is here and the answer is in this post.
