Variations in Blue

by Tanja L on 04/15/12

Bigger Photo

About this design:

Made another one with sodalite. as the blue is rather dull I added light metal beads that gave a bit of shimmer to the piece. In the centre I used a couple of pearl chips with a bigger metal bead.

Components:

Brazilian sodalite from LB, metal beads, pearl chips

Tanja L says:

Thanks, Nancy. The chips were bought here in Sweden. They were unusually cheap ) USD 5! But at the time I booght them I was not yet aware of internet sites with beads and prices in general. Just liked them and bought. Now was the chance to use them.
