Bead Hoarders Blog Hop

This necklace has been designed with "a little bit of everything" from 15 years of bead hoarding.  I used Swarovski Crystals, Czech Glass, Quartz Crystals, Cloisonne, and more.  But of course, the "Pièce de Résistance" is the beautiful borosilicate lampwork pendant bead, made by Steve Rhoades of Bokomo Designs.  Thank-you Lori Anderson, it was fun designing this necklace, and fun reminiscing while going through my "amasses of stashes". :)

    I like that you kinda threw everything together to make this. It makes me think of "mustgo". . what we called leftover dinner meals in my house growing up. As in, everything in the fridge 'must go.' Your design looks much tastier than dinner did those evenings! It's really, really beautiful.

    Ooooo Jennifer - I love your necklace! I call these kind of projects "kitchen sink" projects, because they include just about everything but the kitchen sink - lol! You have created such a gorgeous statement piece with texture and subtle color - well done! :)

    What a spectacular piece! That is a bead hoard to be proud of! It may have grown over 15 years, but you can see that each bead was picked out by the same eye, the same sensibility. Really a beautiful necklace -- it ought to be a joy to wear!

    THAT is a lot of work, and JUST my style! I'm impressed and it's given me some ideas for some of my beads (if that's OK?)

    Thank you so much for playing, and I'm so sorry it took me so long to get around to everyone! I hope you participate in one of my hops again!
