Do you have any handmade necklaces you need to move that have been stashed away a year or so?

Yeah, I sympathize because it happens to all jewelry designers occasionally. My first attempt at making jewelry was glass-tile necklaces with digital images and personal photos. I simply hung them on chains.

Recently I found a few in my studio cabinet and decided to give them a new look. Since I’ve learned more beading techniques, I decided to try this.

Oh my! Everyone likes the difference. I think I’ll remake one using a photo of my parents when they were dating in the 1930’s. That one deserves pearls 🙂
