Blue Leopard

So much has been going on, I can't believe how long it's been since I blogged. But, I had some time to make some new things and I am so excited about this piece. Again, it features some Kazuri Beads. I just love working with these Kazuri beads because I think they are so unique! And, I love the story behind them and how in using them I am supporting a town, and families.

So, this Blue Leopard necklace is different that I usually do in that it is not completely strung and it is not evenly spaced beads between chain. It's a hybrid- half sterling silver chain and half strung beads. I love the turquoise and the black and there's something about the polka dots that's just irresistible to me. I also love doing something different than I usually do. When I took it to work to show some friends they loved it! At first I thought it would look good with just turquoise and blacks, but then my friends came up with lots of ideas for outfits for it- denim, bright spring colors (like yellow), and the contrast against a stark white blouse. Love it.

I've also made some other new pieces. Hopefully I'll feature them soon, as soon as I can photograph them!
