Buddha in the Sun
About this design:
As most of you know, I have a thing with the Buddha so when I saw that LB sold this pretty Buddha bead, I was lost :-) Thought it would look good with some sunstone and smoky quartz.
Components:
Sunstone, Smoky Quartz, Buddha beadRead the comments (or add your own)
