Arizona Necklace

I call this my Arizona necklace, because I purchased the pendant during our Arizona trip and also the two red beads in Arizona. I beaded the bail and the spiral necklace.

Coraling

Oh my gosh, I'm addicted! Hello, my name is Aleta, and I'm addicted to coraling. The beading technique, that is... I love it! Once you get used to how to coral, it's just too much fun. I ended up making 3 coral necklaces.

Penny for Your Thoughts

Etsy is a great place to find talented handmade crafts. I was fortunate to find JustDogs by Vicki. She makes dog pendants and necklaces. We emailed back and forth; I sent a variety of pictures to Vicki of our new dog, Penny.

Vicki sent pictures to me throughout the process and asked questions to make sure we were on the same page with the glass colors, etc. She was a treat to work with and did a beautiful job. Vicki captured Penny's expression perfectly, including the raised eyebrows, the soulful eyes and the tilted ears.

I wanted pennies in my necklace design when I received the pendant. It took me a while to find the right chain and the mixture of crystals and pearls to wire wrap into the chain.
