Latest Bead Project: "Wise Woman" Necklace

[qos]

This past Yule, my teacher gave me a set of bone beads. As soon as I saw them, I knew that I would end up unstringing an amber bead necklace (which my sister had given me years ago and I'd never worn) and making a necklace from the two sets. I also knew the necklace would need a focal point, and I searched around until I found a bone female figure on eBay.

Unfortunately, the carving on the figure isn't high enough contrast to be able to see her very well, but this photo gives you a sense of what it's like.

That is a lovely combination!

Thanks!

It's not a design I would have come up with on my own. The beads themselves seemed to want to arrange themselves like this, on this theme.

If that makes sense. . . .

Makes perfect sense to me. I have a jade link-ring (it's mate is with mine) that periodically says "thou shalt restring me, and these are what you need this time."
