Turquoise Dreams!

I purchased this large turquoise donut and then it sat in my blue bead box for a long, long time.

I wanted to make a stunning necklace to showcase it but, alas, inspiration refused to come pay me a visit. So, one day I decided to wrap the donut in copper wire since I love that color combination.

And then, it went back into the bead box for a while, again until I came across Erin Siegel’s beautiful necklace in a book. So, the rest of the design concept of this necklace came from Erin Siegel.

After I finished the necklace, I was so happy with the results that I decided not to sell and wear it myself! Dangerous!!!
