My Blue-Violet Reflection

This necklace was just fun to put together. The beads aren't anything particularly special, but they're pretty. The smooth blue "pearl" beads and the iridescent purple beads complement each other without actually blending into one another.

I often feel like a lot of design is lost around the back of the neck where most times hair hides the beadwork, so for this necklace, I kept the focal point to the front and used a design of color rather than form around the sides and back.

My Purple Heart

No, not that kind of purple heart!

This necklace was one of the first necklaces I've put together using a more "chunky" bead as a dangler. The photo doesn't show the color very well, but the glass beads have slices of iridescent purple in them, and the effect is dazzling. The glass makes for a heavier necklace, but not unpleasantly so.

Purple being my favorite color, it was hard to decide to part with this one, but how many necklaces can one have? Especially if said "one" has small children that prevent them from wearing said necklaces?
