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.

| Suzie's Wedding Necklace - original design Sketched at work, looking at the crystals available. Set this up, and then modified it after color mixing/balancing to the Working Design. |

I read about the Pride necklace above. That's such a great idea. It should get lots of compliments for being so unique.

Also, did you send an invitation with Yahoo messenger? I'd love to add you on Y!M, but I wanted to be sure it's actually you before accepting...
