I've dang sure had them - since last Christmas. I woke up the AM with a desire to bead - hope that is a good sign - and here is my Blue Christmas creation.

Sodalite pendant compliments of Sands. Sodalite, light and dark blue dunk beads and sterling silver balls with SS toggle.
I've had this idea in the back of my head for months, and glad I finally got it done. I am pretty happy with it. Am going to put it up for auction at StormPay. Be tickled pink if I can sell it.

Here's a closeup of the pendant (sheesh, been so long since I posted a pic here, I hope I can remember how!)

I can see this with a really sexy cocktail gown that shows some cleavage. The pendant hits right where the cleavage starts. Heck, if I had a sexy gown, somewhere to wear it AND cleavage, I'd keep it for myself!

Hope ya'll like it!

Most every women I know, including my BW, would be very happy to have your pendant. It is beautiful work with a beautiful cab. ;D You should have no problem selling your creation.
Do you have any idea how much you have to get for it?
