At the b'sue creative group on FB, there is Work Desk Wednesday and Finish Up Friday; milestones in the week to encourage creative time. Last Wednesday I took this pic of a necklace I wanted to work on. My notion was to make a lariat style toggle closure in front, with that Arita button as the focal. As I was pulling this and that out of my stash, I decided to use the precious Asian look metal beads to support the Buddha button. They are precious because they come from my mom or gramma. So, this was my rough idea of the design
As I began to put things together I quickly found that the lariat toggle idea was not a go for this piece. I tell you, I worked and reworked everything and each jumpring. That sweet man never lost his smile! 😍 I used only made in USA jewelry findings and chain here. OK, OK, there are a couple bead caps from across the sea.
