I haven’t achieved any of these yet, but the year is still new!

Wishing all of you a peace filled new year! ♥️
Also, I’m one site less this year as Artfire, which was my first ever and favorite site, closes down for good. You can still find my goods for sale at Etsy.com and shown at Instagram and Pinterest.

A faceted aqua rondel with a shiny black glass spacer on either end separates the two beads. A black seed bead is at the very bottom.

This necklace has an ethnic and contemporary feel both at the same time with help from the 10 inches of Blue Impression Dagger beads which hang down in the front. They each measure between a half inch to an inch long. Every one of these teal blue and brown beads is separated with a tiny square Bronze bead for some definition and flexibility. They are followed by a pattern of three 6mm Aqua Terra round beads and one 6mm flat round which continues to the 1 1/4 inch long silver pewter trigger clasp which has an etched design on both sides. This piece is almost choker size. Length: 18 3/4 inches $65
