KittyMom Linda says:Now this is an “eye-popper” Bet she gets tons of comments on it. I have a cross in hot pink magnesite that I have been holding on to. Maybe I’ll dig it out.

Brenda H says:Dee, I did see your necklaces and I’m sure they’ll be great again. The girls went to a Spring Fling fashion show and they also had vendors selling, and they said this kind of jewelry was everywhere.
Thanks Linda and Dee, and you’re both right, she has great design abilities. I’ve tried to get both of my daughters into beading, but they think it’s better to just tell Mama what they want and me do it. And I still love to see their eyes light up!!!

Antique to Chic says:I absolutely love this! I would probably wear it myself. Your daughter is so creative to put the zebra cross so the necklace has some assymetry. It was a really smart idea, and it truly works. Fantastic!
