Ode to Backyard Beads


A few months back I begged Doreen of Backyard Beads for some of her recently created polymer clay "Cozumel" beads. I thought they were OUTSTANDING and GORGEOUS! So, Doreen was kind enough to send me quite a few of them. I finally decided the other day that it would probably be best to use one of them soon, because if I fondled or studied them anymore my Hubby was going to have to put me in therapy. I just cannot say enough about these beads! They mesmerize me. Above is the product of my labors. The sterling silver face charm is one that I made a few years ago from Art Clay Silver. Thanks again, Doreen! I hope to have more of these to show you soon.

I absolutely love this bracelet. It reminds me of my favourite stone, amazonite. Something made of amazonite would go perfect with your bracelet!
