Dragonfly's Jasper
About this design:
This necklace is one I started to make in my mind as I looked through the pages here on Lima Beads. I have this currently for sale in my Etsy Shop, Dragonfly Key, but I'm very tempted to keep it. XD I love it for the simplicity and, even though a dragonfly might not be for fall, it definitely has the perfect colors for the season.

K H says:I would have never thought to try shiny and antique copper together, but the rustic-ness of the beads blends with the antique copper dragonfly and the shiny copper beads are the accents! Who knew???
