    Too large to wear?

    Ditto. I think it's really a question of how they sit on the neck...difficult to say without trying them on!

    My Four Seasons Bloom Flower Tin-Cups

    Purr, you are always an inspiration - those are absolutely gorgeous, and I love all of the different combinations. I am now feeling the need to make some tin cups of my own. Don't have any flowers on hand, though, so perhaps some diminutive cephalopods might have to fill in!

    Dreamy

    Thanks for everyone's nice words! I strung the pearls on softflex beading cable, with tiny (size 15) glass seed beads in between the pearls as spacers. The beads right next to the clasp are actually crimp bead covers. The coloration on the mermaid's tail was achieved through oxidation, which...
