I was thrilled when I saw this post because I am a big fan of Sally Russick's enameled beads. I chose the Starfish palette and was sent (forgot to take before pics) a tan lentil, green rounds and some light colored tube beads. If you saw my post from yesterday I used some of Sally's beads in the necklace I made for Finally Friday. Here is the necklace I made for today's hop.
I started by wire wrapping the front side of the lentil, then I added a bead from Gaea and a branch disc from Heather Powers.
Then I layered a pendant from Marsha Neal with a pendant from Cynthia Thornton.
Then I wire wrapped a lampwork bead from 2BeadSisters and some more of Sally's enameled beads.
I finished the necklace off with silk from Marsha Neal and a Vintaj Natural Brass hook clasp.
Thank so much for checking out my necklace and I hope you will hop along with the other participants:

Shannon, I love the flowered bead in this design. It adds something very feminine to the color pallet. Cool design.
Very pretty Shannon - love the mix of materials and textures. Perfect for spring.
Love your necklace, Shannon. I like the mix of beads, fiber and metal. Very cool.
Boy, I am seeing alot of silk being used in the designs...great job! Lovely color palette!
A sweet piece! It looks like a lovely English garden.
So soft and feminine. I love the silk ribbon, perfect!
Totally gorgeous. I love the way you layered the 2 pendants and used the silk and all the other beads that went so well with your color scheme. Super!!
Great mixed media piece, the colors work so well together.
Absolutely beautiful, very soft and feminine!
Shannon! Your necklace has such a beautiful softness! I love how the pinkish/purplish color of the silk and focal pull the whole design together and e the wire wrapping you used to accent the lentil, fantastic!!! The necklace flows so nicely! Beautifully done!
Shannon, THANK YOU so much for participating in the hop!!!
So pretty and very spring! Love the Finally Friday piece---great colors!
Totally gorgeous necklace Shannon. Love the way you layered the pendants and your use of the silks and your overall color scheme.
The wire accents you added on the lentil bead were absolutely inspired! As well, not using it as the focal worked awesomely for you. The combination of colors and beads you chose seems to just flow together. Nicely done!!
This really does say spring...as I sit and look at my lilacs starting to bloom, the new greens, the overcast sky this morning....you chose very beautiful beads to accent Sally's beads. A nice serene piece.
Very pretty and feminine :)
So beautiful, Shannon! Love how soft and feminine this piece is.

Pretty combination of colors and findings - love the focal piece and how you put it all together ~JLynn
