I have been plotting this necklace design for some time and finally managed to get a little time to play with my beads and “get er done!” Yeah, now I can wear and enjoy it.
The ceramic owl pendant is from Blu Mudd, and I already had the other supplies in my stash: rondelle shaped topaz colored crystals; green glass Japanese seed beads; and copper spacer beads. I strung this on .014 beading wire and finished it off with copper crimp beads. I added a few inches of chain on the end so that I can change length from 16 to 18 or so inches. If you are ever not sure how long you want your finished necklace to be, the addition of a few inches of chain to one end is a good option so that you can change the length depending on the top you are wearing. Plus, of course, I made some simple earrings to create a set.

Hi Tammy! Just dropping in to say “hello” and see what’s new with you. I just friended you on Ravelry, which I have been meaning to do for awhile now. Sorry it took me so long to look you up. I am so glad to see you’re still making jewelry and posting inspiration online.

It;s lovely, Tammy. And I really like the idea of (almost) always incuding an extender chain. I need to write myself a note.
