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.

I love this whole story Eil! Diana found the perfect thing for you. That necklace turned out beautiful! Great job!
Very nice. Can't wait to send Di the link.
But I'm a little ticked you didn't mention the $5 I gave you for your birthday.
I love the necklace. You did a great job. Your description was so clear and descriptive, and it also made me tear up.Mom
