I'm pretty darn tired. I've been organizing my photos from our day at the Canadian National Exhibition and writing a chronological blog (in my 'Draft' file presently), and had been staring at some of these beads that I had bought in the Arts & Crafts Building when we were there. So I shoved the blog aside for now and finished the necklace I had intended to make for a while with the pendant that I purchased from Jesse Jane's!
The pendant is the Stone Buddha pendant from jessejanes.etsy.com, the blue beads recycled from a broken necklace my mother had given my grandmother when she returned from her trip to Egypt, snowflake obsidian beads I had bought from the CNE Arts & Crafts Building, and some other glass and semi-precious beads from my own stash. I added a lucite briolette and bali bell with the pendant, and a red jade flower near the screw clasp. I always like to add a small bead or charm where the clasp is for an easy find when you have to reach to the back of your neck. I love this necklace, and I think I'm keeping this one to myself. Thanks to Jesse Jane's for the great pendant that inspired this necklace!
