Day of the Doves
About this design:
Tracy's party is Saturday and I don't feel that good about giving her the seahorse pendant. I like it, but I think she would rather have some kind of stone. I haven't been able to find her birthstone in a size and shape I want. I thought I'd try something else. I'm tired today anyway. All I've been doing is watching the birds. They were invading the Oasis today since I wasn't out there and I have spilled seeds on the ground. The doves don't come in, but they discovered the trellis today and are perching up there to look in. Guess it's a happy day for them.
Components:
Quartz crystal pendant. Faceted topaz oval glass bead. Frosted glass drop. 11/0 seed beads. 20 and 24 guage wire. Chain.Additional Images:

K Ralston says:I forgot to mention. I actually have a few vegetables forming. Whoo Hoo. Goodness knows I’ve been doting on those plants. And I saw the biggest black bee I’ve ever seen in my life. Hopefully I’ll be better at this gardening stuff next year.

dolllady aka Pam says:Very interesting necklace! Be careful of your black bee! It sounds like what comes around here. They bore holes into wood! I have a wooden broom handle they bored holes into the center. I use it as additional protection on my glass sliding door at night.

Fresh Baked says:The small wire details make this pendant special! I’m sure your friend will love it.

Beady Little Eyes says:Beautiful KR. I actually love the seahorse also. Mourning doves come to my feeder but mostly hang out in the maple tree watching. Good luck on your garden!

K Ralston says:Thanks all. Pam, I Googled those bees. I’d never heard of Carpenter Bees. He sure was beautiful but I will keep a watch out for any problems. Fresh Baked, thanks. I hope she does, or she can have both. I’m not looking forward to the party Saturday though. K has pretty severe social anxiety but sometimes you just have to suck it up for your friends. Beady, I got the nyger seeds and a very cheap feeder yesterday. I get the sense that doves like to feed off the ground, but the little birds will hopefully find it soon.
