Well, I stumbled across this blog earlier today and it sparked me to pause the digiscrapping a little bit and pull out the beading stuff. January's theme was Love Story, but it can be any kind of love.The wooden beads were made by my dad, and the Turquoise discs are from Szarka/Turquoise Magpie. Jet black Swarovski 4mm bicones are between everything.
Normally I'd go for an odd number for the focal point, but this took every disk I had; I'm glad the range of sizes of disks worked out. This works, though, because it's a very short necklace on me, and it's more important to have the horizontal width impact of the focal turquoise area, than whether or not it has even or odd numbers of disks. Plus, being such uneven widths sort of subs in for the "odd"ness, there.
I haven't worn it yet, but I will tomorrow. It feels like a nice, springy necklace. The love of course being that between a daughter and father. The disk sections all graduate in size, although the center the least so, as the biggest are there, mostly.
Stop by the blog linked above, and make the rounds of the various Ornament Thursday-ers. There's quite the variety!

Sarebear - I have been trying to reach you regarding a blurb that you posted quite some time ago, regarding some Radiant Pearls Paint that you were selling. Do you still have any/all of this paint available? If so, I am very interested in purchasing whatever you have...could you please contact me at sikada@yahoo.com? Thanks! Leona
