This sweet little pendant was a birthday gift. My sister-in-law, Diana, found it in Asheville and thought of me and my home. I love it~it was such a thoughtful gift.
Over the past few months, I've been thinking about what other components to add to it to make a necklace for myself. I knew I wanted to use the beautiful moss opal beads that I have been hoarding for quite some time. I think they are gorgeous. They remind me of the woods behind my house.
I added in some golden freshwater pearls, a small piece of brass chain and a leather connector that I made with some deerskin suede and a little antiqued brass wire.
For a final touch, I added this lampworked glass leaf headpin made by talented glass artist Nikki Thornburg-Lanigan and a 'Hope' charm.
I knew I couldn't make a necklace that represented my home without adding a reminder of Hope
I can hardly believe my sweet pup has been gone for almost a year. I miss her.
