Amethyst Dreams Museum Piece #2
About this design:
I had a gorgeous strand of amethyst rough nuggets from Lima, and have been itching to do something with them. I pulled out some round amethyst beads and some smooth nuggets and Czech AB Crystal rondelles, and it just came together. (Which was nice, I was under a deadline Friday). I have some of the rough nuggets left over, and may have to selfishly make something just for me!
Components:
Amethyst, Czech Glass Rondelles Crystal ABAdditional Images:
