necklace with 3 strands of chalcedony, freshwater pearls, and aquamarine
Lots have emailed and wanted to see more of the necklace in the banner...I think it's my all-time favorite! It's long, so it's hard to photograph, so to get a better look, don't forget you can click the picture to see a full screen shot. And have you seen French Knot Monogramming? My friend Gretchen turned me on to this...hope I did it right. Any suggestions for it's final destination? A pillow? A purse? Help me out! I haven't the foggiest idea where it will end up. Also, the knitting that served as my plate here will soon be a pillow. I'll let you know how that turns out too.
I was recently on my favorite website, Daily Candy, and found my new favorite website, The Bright Side Project! Y'all, they're giving away the coolest stuff. Something different every day! All you have to do is answer the featured artist's question and wait. Of course when I saw this irresistible bee necklace, I pitched my answer, crossed my fingers and toes and held my mouth just right! Can you believe it? I won! Even Natasha Salkey, the artist, couldn't believe it when she discovered what a perfect match she'd chosen. I've kept the secret long enough. It's time to let the bee out of the hive! Please visit The Bright Side Project and then scoot right over to Natasha Salkey's website to see more of her irresistible jewelry. Maybe I'll "stash" something in my own Christmas stocking this year!
