guest posting from Susan

My knitting/sewing/beading/any other craft that catches our eye buddy Susan shared these pictures and description about a necklace she made. She graciously allowed me to share this, and I;m thrilled to. One, because I think it'[s beautiful and should be shared, and two, I'm severely short of blog fodder this week - Thanks Susan!!


the below is a direct quote from Susan:

I was in a quandary about what to make my boss for her Christmas gift this year. As you know, I always make her something, usually knitted, or some beading. I bought some Fimo kit thingy at Michael's for a reduced price a while back that makes some Asian-themed pendants. So I looked at it and thought, let's try it. Needless to say, I'm thrilled with how this turned out. I rolled out said Fimo, cut out some shapes using their templates, carefully stamped them with some pigment inks, baked the stuff, sanded it, edged the pieces with a paint pen, glued the pieces together and shellacked the crap out of it. Then I just strung it on some black beading wire with black and orange/red beads from the stash, and here we are. I am really pleased with how it turned out.

beautiful!
