BSBP REVEAL! I am not a fan of orange, so this piece was the most challenging for me and it turned out lovely! The vintage orange mother of pearl pendant is strung on a necklace made of coconut palm beads with glass beads mixed in throughout. Maybe I will work with orange again one day!

BSBP REVEAL! This is my favorite piece! I love dragonflies and having been eying this particular pendant! The dragon fly is beautiful with the enameling and rhinestones. I strung it with a loop made of glass seed beads, aquamarine chips, tree jade and a few touches of silver plated beads then finished with a silver plated floral clasp. Thank you Jackie!
BSBP REVEAL! This knotted necklace turned out gorgeous, the copper color of the chain compliments the unakite jasper. I do not do much with gemstones, but this is a beautiful stone, one of nature’s most healing crystals of the heart and mind resonating with the frequency of love, compassion and kindness.

Thank You
Orange
Pendant
And then there are these gorgeous pendants! The orange on is a pearlized vintage pendant, orange has always been difficult for me to work with, so it is a nice challenge for me. The dragon fly is actually one I have eyed myself before so I am thrilled to have it, it should be easy for me to use - I guess we shall see what I come up with! Thank you Jackie!

Jackie made these copper coil beads for me, I am touched by that - she had no idea that they would brings back fond memories of many years ago when my sister and I learned how to make similar beads. In fact, my sister recently found her tools from back then - we just make have to give it a try again!
