**Sorry the pictures aren't that great, I have a cheap camera... :( Oh well, least you can get an idea of what they look like.**
I made this piece as a surprise for a dear friend of mine. Her and I had been meeting once a week together for several weeks. She has inspired and helped me grow in so many ways. I love her very much. As our journey was coming to an end (meeting once a week together) I had to get her or make her something. Of course my mind went to jewelry as it usually does, so I went to Michael's, and picked the pieces that most reminded me of her. I picked pearls, because they reminded me of her. It might sound cheezy, but to me pearls are such a pure and rare item, and she is one of those rare people you don't meet everyday. I really like the length of this necklace and the colors and the beads.. OK everything!


I made the next 2 pieces for a co-worker/friend. I was really excited about making them for her. She knew I made jewelry and one day randomly asked me if I would be interested in making her some. Of course I was ecstatic to do it! Her and I took ourselves a little trip to Michael's, and picked out beads to make some necklaces. Erin was so much fun to shop with, I really enjoyed how she was so laid back and was really open minded about everything. We picked out the beads, and she let me do what I wanted with them, which was really cool.. No restrictions, I like that. So, here they are and I think they look great on her!
