a finished piece?

I am basically finished with my rosary necklace. Why basically? Well, I just don't think it is done *talking* to me yet. It's missing something, I just don't know what yet. I do want to get some of the crosses that Naomi used on the necklace she made, maybe adding a few to this one. I need to find out where she got them first lol.

Here is the pic of the "finished" necklace. I apologize for the washed out colors:


I used four different beads: silver grey and brown Swarovski crystals, Czech purple/clear rondells and lantern beads and silver grey round beads. I did all the wire work with 24 gauge craft wire. I'd rather used silver, but have you seen prices lately?? Holy moly!


This is the double sided pendant that Naomi made. One side is the heart of Jesus and the other is Jesus. She does such stunning work and makes the soldering look so easy. This is the reason I sent her a few pendants I made for her to do the solder work on. Maybe I will see them again some day...maybe...~wink wink~

If any one out there who happens to read this has an idea of how to make this necklace "shut up" as it were haha, let me know, k?

Last but not least is a bracelet I threw together for fun. Turquoise (naturally), stamped silver, and a piece of Carnelian and green Garnet.

So, there you go. Thanks for taking a gander at my wares :).
