Falling for Carnelian

Bigger Photo

About this design:

This set of carnelians and lampwork beads is done with gold tone metal findings. I saw the carnelians, and then the lampwork beads, and just wanted to put them together. This set is for sale, unless I decide I love it too much to let it go!

Components:

10 and 8 mm. carnelian round beads, lampwork round and oval beads, gold plated filigree beads and bead caps, gold tone toggle and findings, gold seed beads to wrap wire where it meets the toggle, hypoallergenic ear wires.

Thank you, ladies. I think I am really into the fall colors right now.
Yesterday I even got my fall and Halloween decorating done. I had only been postponing that for 2 weeks.
