never to be duplicated

at least not by me.

Not any time soon.





I absolutely love the way this necklace came out

 but it was the biggest pain in the butt.

Granted, I have to fight the urge to be a perfectionist and sometimes I lose,

 like with the components of this necklace.

Which means a lot of the time consuming part was me tearing out

 and re-doing the seed bead parts.

(Seed beads. I hate them but I am addicted to them. Go figure.)

This necklace started with the focal made by Juls of JulsBeads

(if you've been around a while, you know I am also addicted to her work

or should I say her art)

Each one of her beads is a work of art and whenever I make a piece of

jewelry that contains her beads I always feel like it "needs to be worthy".

That's when the perfectionist kicks in. 

Juls focal, swarovski crystals, black onyx, polymer clay disks,
tubular peyote and spiral rope stitch

I had a vision of the finished piece before I started and this came pretty close.

I like it☺
