Necklace Project Day 14

Not only do I really like buying jewelry, I love making it. I keep a lot of it, give away most the rest, and try to sell some of it. But when I am selling it I am really just trying to get more money in order to buy more jewelry making materials. It is a vicious cycle. But I enjoy making jewelry because it relaxes me. I like creating pretty things. It makes me feel like I have actually accomplished something and someone other than me will enjoy it.

This necklace was inspired by one that a friend of mine has. It is a flat fresh water pearl on a copper chain. Actually I think it is a plastic bead meant to look like a flat fresh water pearl, but it is pretty so I don't care. I found this bead while at my orientation for my Graduate program, it was sitting next to a mossy rock. I think I will probably make more of these with some semi-precious stones.
