It's Fun To Do A Change Up To An Existing Piece. A Friend Purchased This Beautiful Woven Beaded Work
It's fun to do a change up to an existing piece. A friend purchased this beautiful woven beaded work but didn't care for the chain it was on, didn't think the leather cord I used worked either. So she found an old bead chip n turquoise heishi necklace she was tired of for me use to recreate the piece. I sure hope it more to her liking🙂

Contemporary Jewelry Handmade in Northern California from the Highest Quality Natural MaterialsI like using strong beading wire, mixed metals, leather, I love turquoise, shells, various gemstones, crystals, bone, ceramic, acrylic beads and good strong crimp beads are a must.There are so many product options out there.I decided to limit my products to mostly North American regions and Mexico. I remember when I first started I purchased some Chinese turquoise and wasn’t too pleased. Then I learned a few of my vendors were selling me Chinese stuff too. There are some quality gemstones mined in China. However knowing the distance traveled made me reconsider and stay within our continent. It’s a big one anyway. Jewelry making helps me relax, I find it therapeutic. My back and fingers get sore but it’s all worth it when I see someone wearing something I’ve made. Darn right Joyous!
