About this design:
This still didn't come out quite the way I had wanted and my camera is total crap, but overall I decided it was pretty. I love the beads. I used the ribbon slide and the two blanks, but the strung part of the necklace ended up too long to incorporate them. So I ended up using them in a bracelet.
Components:
Spring Rain necklace/bracelet kit plus Vintaj Arte Metal chain and a couple gunmetal cones.Read the comments (or add your own)
