Thanks, Sweet Jane. Sorry I missed you in my first reply!

Thanks so much, Pam, Crystal, and Little Round Chick, for the kind comments.. It’s great to be back creating again

Pam, we raise chickens and one day we went out to feed them and there was a peacock that had joined the flock! We don’t know where it came from but it was a beautiful addition. My profile picture is a picture of that peacock.

Gorgeous! I love it! The branch you created for the birdie is so ingenious and creative. I think I like this necklace almost as much as your Crazy Chicken Necklace.

Beautiful necklace and such a great way to repurpose your grandma’s jewelry.

Thank you so much, Melody, Pam and Crystal. I really appreciate your kind comments.

I think your Etsy shop is so appropriately named. You are a true artist and what you design is great art

The beads for this necklace may have been rejected but this necklace is absolutely gorgeous. You really managed to pull together all the different colors and types of beads into a striking array. I think this is my second most favorite necklace of yours that I’ve seen. My all time favorite is still the crazy chicken [...]

These earrings are gorgeous! Unfortunately I don’t think I have the patience nor the dexterity to make them. I, too, have arthritic fingers.
