Faithful Chick aka Faith says:Wow!! This is beautiful and I bet fun feeling on. You can take a lot of pride in this time consuming wonderful piece. I don’t think I would have patience for a piece like this. I am a lot more comfortable right now when it goes together zip zip zip. Maybe I’ll get better. Wow!!!

Mary Magdalene says:This is a great piece to wear. It flows with your movements. It is also very beautiful and I receive a lot of compliments when I wear it. I am working on another which will use vintage Swarovski crystals.
