Surprisingly difficult...

The above delicate little necklace looks deceptively simple - however, I was amazed last night when I finished it to look up at the clock and find I had taken about four hours to make it! I had taken apart all the old (no, not vintage nor antique, just OLD) jewellery from E-bay and one of the reasons I had bought it all was the high proportion of rosy glass beads. I used the ones with AB coating together with little greenish AB beads from Greece hung on antique-look brass wire. There is a tiny dark brass bird charm hanging with the little collection of beads and chain at the focal point. All very tiny and has an old-fashioned look to it - needs to be worn with a floaty chiffon summer dress while you eat cucumber sandwiches on a rug in the sunshine.....
£15 + P&P!

Please don't forget the 200th post draw - three more days to put your name down for a mystery gift. Don't know why I've coincided it with the departure of my SO for foreign climes....whatever you win may be tear-stained... Haha! As he'll be back within a couple of days to pick up his tools and collect a client's car, I really don't think I'll be that sad!
