“And here are photos of the rest of my purchases from CJS. I now have more beads than I know what to do with, but I’ve always been susceptible to the charms of pretty rocks… Clearly, I will be fabricating sterling silver necklace and bracelet clasps this winter, and beading! I’m thinking short necklace strands that can be layered on the neck and wrist. Also combining different stones in various sizes to create focal points. And maybe I carry some loose beads in my pockets so that I can periodically pull them out to admire them. “ Repost from Deirdre Bialo-Padin
