More Vacation Bling

Phone pictures don't really do this set justice. I'm not very impressed with my wire-wrapping skills, but hope to remedy that with a class. However, I like simple coloring, and how the simple necklace allows the pendant to be the real focal piece.

The other thing that I like is that this necklace was also done completely out of inventory. I didn't have to make any runs to the bead store to "fill gaps".

Getting ready for vacation!

I finished this set last weekend. It has a wonderful jellyfish pendant of blown glass (that I bought at an artist fair last summer in Montana), fresh water pearls (from a necklace I made 21 years ago), mother of pearl, sodalite, and faceted green sea glass.

It is a "modular" piece that can be warn twisted all together or with just the "jellyfish" necklace or just the "cascade" necklace.  I can't wait to wear it when we go on vacation.
