Back Into Beads

I used to do a lot of bead work when I was in college and before I had kids. I really enjoy it, but some of it is a little tedious to do while being distracted by three kids. However, I made the mistake of walking through the bead aisle at the craft store. Oh, my! They really have some pretty things! I got a handful of strands for making Christmas presents, which I will post at a later date. This necklace I made for myself. I used wire, which was new to me, but I am happy with how it came out. I took apart a necklace I never wore for the chain and clasp.
