Hmmm… sounds like a date or two I had way back when.

Actually, it’s a piece fresh off my work table.

Love is in the air for this pair of ammonites.  They are long exinct of course, but they seem to multiply and run rampant in my imagination for some strange reason.  Must be something about all those arms…. hmmm…

The entire necklace is not yet complete but the photo shows an idea I have on a possible design element.

Falling Leaves Necklaces

Leaf canes put to work in some stunning necklaces. These necklaces are strung on coated steel cable wire with various metal and glass accent beads.

Lilapods

Introducing Lilapods. These fun beads I named in honor of my friend Lila whom owns one of my favorite bead stores in Wasilla. She snapped up one of these original pod-like beads and turned out a spectacular necklace. Her piece involved some amazing peyote stitch work, where as I chose to keep mine simple. (I’m all thumbs when it comes to seed beads and needles.) Thanks again Lila!

These multi flower beauties were made a year or so ago… I just didn’t know what to dith them … until the Lilapod series inspired me.
