I've been making jewelry the past few days, so I'm sharing a picture. The necklace in the photo at the right was created from the January 2008 issue of BeadStyle magazine. (You can buy the instructions if you don't have the issue in your stash.)

When I was down in Chicagoland last weekend, I was able to stop at The Place to Bead in Naperville, Illinois, home of Bella Venetian Beads, and they always have a lovely selection. I had a ball picking out these beads, and beads for the necklace that I plan to share here tomorrow. Of course, you can order them online, but I was right there, so I HAD to visit them in their new location.
