About this design:
Haven't been on LB in a while, things got crazy here and then I was out of town for a bit. Had my bank account wiped out while away, and have been crazy busy with other real life drama.
Have 2 shows coming up, one in April at a "Line Dance" event and then one in May, so I've finally started making stuff again.
Components:
dyed blue agate slab, Sodalite in various forms, sterling silverRead the comments (or add your own)
