Such a pretty piece of art, John!! Well done! Actually I have some similar blue agate beads waiting to be paired with some other nice beads, so let’s see where it ends. I guess I have to post it when I’m finished.

Starsparkle Spiral Chick, yes it did take me a long time to put the necklace together. But, then, I work very slowly.
