Today's offering is a bit of a cheat. It is one that I did last year, packed it away so I would find it and then....you guessed it-I couldn't find it! I thought sure it had been lost somehow, but since nothing ever gets straightened up around here I figured it had to be somewhere in this house. When I found it (still in the container I used to transport my stuff to a home show last fall) I decided that perhaps the next couple of days should be devoted to seeing what else I could find in this black hole (because it sucks all matter into it!) of a house. So for awhile I will be showing you different pieces as they are unearthed.
The necklace itself is pretty simple - polymer beads strung with real bone spacers, finsihed with a copper toggle clasp. What makes it not so simple is the individual beads. I can see that they were made during one of my 'manic' episodes, full of detail that I can only accomplish when I am in the mood. I also found more of these beads in a drawer that I hade apparently gone over lightly with gold gilders paste...not sure if I like the results but I will play around with them a bit; can't bring myself to toss something that took so much time.
