You got a lot of that opal fire/ice glow out of that piece. I love the choice of textural stone (or is it shell?) for the rest of the necklace too. outstanding!

Have you decided on a clasp yet, or do you already have one? Are you using a toothpick to get in the crevices? I guess I'll let you call me Gina. ROFL!

Yikes, slip of mind Ginger......

Yep, toothpick for getting into small spaces. Will likely wait for the dragon to catch up to get to that.
No, still have to find a clasp that looks OK and fits my budget.

Much more interesting than just seeing the finished piece of art! Thank You!

Thank You!

As I came here and another forum a few years ago, quite a few people did that. And it was seeing all the progress pictures , that made a rapid advance in my own skills possible. So I continue that way in the hope to give a little back.

Without the effort of encouragement and documentation here on the forum I would not only not have been able to get where I am right now, but most likely would not even be in this wonderful hobby anymore.

So this is a good opportunity to give a heartfelt shout-out of "Thank you" to all who made forums like this possible and all the fantastic members who keep contributing and spreading the word.
