Chips and a Slab
About this design:
While on vacation I Found the pendant and Hessonite chips in a little bead store in Wilmington, NC. Added the silver and vintage rondells from my stash. Can you tell what I like to do when I'm on vacation? I go in seach of the local bead stores - see what treasures I can find to bring home. Gives me something to always remember that vacation...
Components:
Mookaite slab pendant, Bali Silver cones, SS 3mm rounds, German Vintage Glass Rondells, Hessonite chipsAdditional Images:
