Introduction & Supplies

The beautiful Venetian glass beads were the inspiration for this asymmetrical necklace that has a dash of gold here and there. However, the finished design reminds me of the Orient. Maybe I’m thinking about Memoirs of a Geisha right now. Any way, the design is exotic and one that will be noticed.
