Kristi R says:Thanks for all the positive feedback.
I was inspired by a Turitella Agate cab I found here in Toledo. Am using it in my first bead embroidery project, a bracelet. Wit the agate pictured here I made a wonderful antique copper/agate necklace to go with the bracelet. Now to finish the bead embroidery!
Making picks may become addictive for me!
