An Incidental Hobby

I made this choker pendant using cat's eye glass beads and a pewter leaf charm.

Making little pieces of jewelry is something I picked up a couple of years ago. But it's an incidental thing. I hardly wear any of the accessories I make. I give them away to friends. I only make them because I have all these crystals and beads and charms lying around. Why do I have all these crystals and beads and charms lying around? Because I like looking at pretty little things! I buy them when I see them simply because they look so pretty. (I'm weak and shallow, I know. But I'm happier this way. Heh.)

Ooh, very pretty. I am, however, partial to oak trees, so that makes me like this a lot. What a nice talent to be able to make such pretty jewelry.

[Peter de Graaff]

Making jewelry takes a lot of patience, and insight into beads and objects which are beautifully captured

lolol I couldn't help but smile when I read what you'd wrote, as I can't resist pretty shiny things, and also make jewelry, but never wear any of it, so I totally hear you :-) Lovely choker and a beautiful shot!
