Winter Day Gray
About this design:
Somehow the first one (pink & blue) never looks quite as good as the 2nd time I try a new design (gray/blue). To me any way. That's why I featured the gray agate pendant. It has malachite, amethyst, lapis, blue lace agate,and aventurine companions. Some are from LB.
Components:
18 & 22g artistic wire; various gemstonesAdditional Images:

Crazy Beader says:Wow – - you have created a real beauty here ! Agree that the second one is a little better than the first, but the “side wrap” really works on both of them.

Laud says:Love the design and subtle colors of this. The first one is more festive, but less focused. Nice work!

Julie Shane says:Both are awesome. Why not add a “tail” on the pink & blue piece. That’s what I think is so clever and fun about the lavendar pendant.

Beadlady3 aka Cindy says:Thant you chickies. One of my co workers likes the pink-blue one and did ask for a dangle on it. So it has more charm than I gave it credit for !
