Black and Gold Butterfly Necklace

I created this with black and gold glass seedbeads using the spiral round bead stitch.
The pendent is a hand painted wooden button. The necklace is approximately 20-inches
in length and ends with a gold plated lobster clasp.

Dogwood Flower Necklace

I finished this necklace earlier in the week and I think it came out beautiful.

A yellow and white seed beaded spiral adorned with a handpainted dogwood flower button. I thought it made the cutest pendent. The necklace is almost 20 inches in length and it connects with a goldplated lobster clasp. I used Nymo thread to bead with, it's so nice to work with.

I tried the necklace on and it's so light I practically didn't know I had anything around my neck. I'm working on another using a wooden butterfly button. I found the buttons at JoAnne Fabrics and I think incorporating them with the beaded spiral looks great.

I finished up some earrings I had too. They're pretty and perfect for summer wear.

Here's a few pictures of the necklace.....






Have a great weekend!
