I like the crochet necklace as well, I have worn that one probably more than any other, that bead is just to die for! I have a set of large ceramic beads that it remind me of, from back in the 70s, that belonged to my mother-in-law. I think they used to use them for macrame? Anyway, it always reminds me of those, and that makes me think of her :)Maire of Thistledownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04485576055107782389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281440633440788632.post-72466133281590602972014-07-29T21:00:14.424-07:002014-07-29T21:00:14.424-07:00Marie Your nautilus earrings are great.

I love the story with each of your pieces. Especially the pretty lady and the beads...she came out perfect! I also loved the spiral bead work and very glad to read you were re-working it...it's such a fantastic design! <br />Thanks so much for the really wonderful comments and for visiting my blog twice....you made my month!<br />P.S. The coral was easy to saw...just took a little time. I wanted earrings bad enough I was willing to risk it...worst...I'd have no earrings. It's really what I love most about the Bead Soup hop. So many different artists, styles, and mediums....they just open you up for a whole new way of thinking!<br />Fantastic job with your soup!<br />Cheers!<br />PattyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12370149650918516369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281440633440788632.post-40338990404166004772014-05-31T20:56:21.037-07:002014-05-31T20:56:21.037-07:00Thank you!

I love that necklace but I am taking it apart and remaking it with some more even sized beads, I wanted to make it into a very even and more of a professional looking piece. I do love it though! I'm not changing anything but the quality of the beads... the ones I used were just some cheap ones that I had on hand that actually matched the pretty focal that Skylar sent. When I get it finished I will post a pic... if I ever get it fixed, this was a challenge for me to get all this done before deadline!!Maire of Thistledownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04485576055107782389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281440633440788632.post-22238005450313627692014-05-31T20:52:38.166-07:002014-05-31T20:52:38.166-07:00Thank you, I love the earrings!
