So here is the story.
I am not a beader, but I have several friends who are.
They are incredible jewelry artists and designers.
Heather French, an amazing quilter and bead artist designed a lovely bird necklace.
Several other friends, Suzie, Sarah and Jan were all getting together to make the necklace
and graciously included me, a total non-beader to join them. I had done some
minimal wire wrapping a few years back, but I thought I would give it a go,
besides the girls are fun and we would go to eat after....of course!
So, last weekend we all spent a fun day working on our necklaces and today while we were
together eating lunch (sense a theme here?) at Panera, Jan showed us her finished one.
Jan's is slightly different from the original design because we all used vintage pieces.
The pic was taken on the table top at Panera so please excuse the quality.
I just had to show you how talented and wonderful these gals are and as
soon as I get pics of the other ones I will post. Mine is a work in progress.
Please join all the other White Wednesdays over there-----> at the WW Link,
and congratulate Kathleen on her 500th Follower! Yeah Kathleen!
This is really beautiful, sounds like you gals know how to have a great get-together. I'd love to know how to do this.Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteHi Suzan,
ReplyDeleteWill you tell Jan for me how beautiful that piece is!!! Just amazing. I would love to see EVERYone's finished necklaces. (sorry I went a little heavy on the EVERY) I think getting together with the girls is always a good time. I'm thinkin' you girls know how to do it right!
As far as the sleeping thing...I wouldn't want to admit that it's an age thing. LOL but alas...I think it just may be.
Have a wonderful day dear friend.
