Perhaps this is a slight deviation from my organic trend in this necklace or maybe its not really.
The beautiful old Chinese pendant was the inspiration, I have been wanting to use it for quite a while, I love the colours green and lavender its so fresh! I believe it is Jade and depicts two fish with a water lily and lily pads, or should I say Lotus flower anyway it is lovely and unusual. The beads I chose are smooth amethyst a bit organic and its finished with a hand dyed silk ribbon of exactly the right colour there is a little sterling silver S clasp under the ribbon so you don't need to undo the ribbon to fasten it!
It is not easy to get a sharp close up picture of the focal but I have put one up anyway.
I am offering it here to my blog readers first then it will go on the web site and Facebook next week.
Thank you your comments are really appreciated

LARA'S NEW BOOK !
I am so excited and very proud of my daughter Lara, she has just published her first book Danger in the Darkness. It is a fantasy novel set in another world and the characters are not human as you would expect, ( that is unless you know my daughter ) . Lara has also done all the art work in the book including both the front and back cover, as she is an artist and I enjoyed proof reading the book for her and look forward to doing the same for the next book which she is getting ready to write.
Lara has created a new web site for the book http://gryphiesaga.co.uk/ if you would like to take a look, I know there are some of you on my blog list that have also written books, below is a picture of the front cover of Lara's book.
