So, here is my latest project
A friend of a close friend is getting married. She & I tend to travel in the same circles when she's visiting the state. She announced a week ago that she was getting married on Thursday (tomorrow) to her fiance, here in WA. She had come for my goddaughter's graduation.
As I was leaving my goddaughter's BBQ (having had too much food, too much drink, and too little sleep the night before), my FOAF asked, "Can you make a necklace to match my dress?"
I didn't feel I could say no, and it WOULD be nice to have a reason to create again. So, of course, instead of just looking through the glass & other beads I have, and making something that would match, I had to take the jacket of the dress to the Bead Factory, and then match colors for Swarovski crystals. Because I am a geek that way.
Took pics, but it didn't come out so well when I tried to lay it flat on the scanner.

I got some 6 mm square Swarovski crystals, one in each color of the rainbow - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet - and want to make a short necklace to wear to Pride this weekend. So that's what I'll be working on Friday & Saturday!
