Beady Little Eyes says:Just wanted to add another file. I was walking through my yard when I noticed a large mass in one of the leafless trees. I took a photo and looked it up. I believe it is a wasp nest – Big – 10 – 12 inches across.

Althea A says:Wow! Just wow! This is gorgeous, Beady. The green beads are beautifully framed by the two strands of zigzags and the CG flowers and leaves are the perfect finishing touch to the lariat. I love it!

Chicky Red-haired Grammy says:This necklace is a beautiful work of art, as is the wasp’s nest!

K Ralston says:Looks like you are already thinking about Spring. Very pretty. The wasp’s nest, not so much

dolllady aka Pam says:Wow and wow again! Your necklace is fan tastic! I wonder who finished their project first, you or those pesky wasps.

Stingray says:Very pretty, it looks like a ultra-dainty scarf. And, wow, that is quite a wasp’s nest. We don’t quite consider wasps to be as pesky here, since my father has arachniphobia and the wasps keep the sheds “clean”.

Crystal Canary says:Beady, this is such a beautiful delicate design. I love the ‘lacy’ feel of the ivory seeds framing the green ones. The cherry quartz flowers paired with those deep green leaves is stunning. As for the wasp nest–truly masterful architects for sure.

Beady Little Eyes says:Thank you all so much. I also like the daintyness of the 2 zig zags. They feel nice also.
Crystal – yes the wasp’s nest really is a work of art. Amazing.
