KATHMANDU



A while ago I won this gorgeous pendant from Melissa at Chinook Jewelry. I went to town designing a necklace around it, it's flow, it's warmth, it's mystery. I submitted it to Bead Trends, and I am fortunate enough to have it featured in the February issue. I always have so many artists to thank for there wonderful creations that usually grace my jewelry. That beautiful lampwork bead is from Cindy Gimbrone also. It really has been a wonderful start to a wonderful New Year. I have to continue to dig through my stash and start using more of these goodies to bring even more flow of good fortune. I am fortunate enough to have these blog buddies in my life. I thank you all, you are all my good fortune!

Congratulations, Sharon!! Your jewelry is wonderful--it should be recognized. How do like Suzi's class? I'm starting to like the colored pencils.

It's just gorgeous Sharon! I love how Cindy's lampwork bead echos the colors in the pendant. I was so delighted to open my BT and see both of us with projects in there! There's a little "somthin' somthin'" coming your way for getting a project with one of my pendants published :)
