Joyful Necklace in Difficult Times

Necklace with a quarter

I needed cheering up, so decided to make a necklace with happy colors not in my comfort zone.

Hi, I am Jo Ann, known here in Israel as Yonina.

I make each and every bead on a torch, a technique called lampwork, here in my little studio in central Israel.

Lampwork necklace

Lampwork beads can be heavy, so I create some necklaces with beads and a silver chain, I also make the hook style clasp myself, after learning from Rena’s tutorial!
