Early September new necklaces

So, if you are new to reading this blog, I'd like to point out that this post is new, so if you read it from here, you are reading backwards.  If you want to see the first posts, you have to click on the older ones on the right side of the page.
     Ok, now for some new fun necklaces!

Big crystals with pewter

Pink Lampwork beads by Becki Meckier, Czech
glass and pewter

Necklaces are coming in... and they are soooo pretty!

More amazing necklaces donated to the project by some of my dear friends.
Amazing ladies, every one of them.  

Pink Freshwater Pearls with pewter made by 
the lovely and talented Katherine Nakazano.

I made this with my friend, Susan's beads, thinking
I was making it for her, and much to my surprise,
she gave it to me for the project.  Sponge Coral with 
Blown glass "shards" by Harold Williams Cooney.

Another set of Susan's beads that I made up using
Harold Williams Cooney's lampwork beads, pewter
and Freshwater Pearls.

Susan made this one, gorgeous!  Blue Quartz with 
Keishi Freshwater Pearls and pewter 

Another one of Susan's creations... Botswana Agate with 
crystals and pewter

Susan was really on a roll with gorgeous designs
This one is Florite, crystal and Freshwater Pearls

More Botswana Agate, large Keishi stick pearls, 
crystals and pewter

This one was a stretch for Susan, she does not often
work in these colors.  Freshwater and Biwa pearls, 
crystals, Czech glass, pewter, and a terrific 
lampwork bead by Lisa Fletcher

Ok, I snuck in one that I made at the Bead Retreat.  
It's crystals and Czech glass, with Freshwater pearls
