My first Necklace

This is picture of the first necklace that I made. It was made in a tubular fashion with right angle weave. This is my first time using this stitch, but what doesn't reflect here is the great mix of bronze and topaz. The pendant is gold and topaz. I had to take a really quick picture of it because it was custom ordered and my wonderful client came to pick it up quicker then I thought she would. It has a wonderful sparkle to it. Since it will not be listed on my Etsy shop, if you are interested, send me an email or leave a comment. I will get back to you on it. It was a lot of fun creating this piece since it continued to change and evolve as the necklace grew. Click on the picture for a close up - it really does look so much better.

I'm hoping to work on some bangles tonight while watching the season premier of Grays Anatomy. Hope it is a good one. I'm wearing the black and white Swarovski bracelet today, and I love looking down at my wrist. I also am waiting patiently (not really) for my new order of crystals to come. The ideas are still pouring out faster then I can create them. I really enjoy my day job, but need more hours when I'm awake for beading. Things like laundry, cleaning and cooking keep getting in the way.

Hope your Thursday is going well, and make sure to stop by tomorrow for another Featured Friday artist.
