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:
