A short time later I�had the opportunity

a two-day workshop with Helen Banes herself!
This is the resulting necklace., using a pattern
from the book. The closure is adjustable.

I�loved this technique and just had to
make a few more. This one was for me
(my own design), but I�also made a similar
one, in aquas and creams, for my sister.
Many people ask me if it is for sale, but
never
ask a price when I�tell them how many
hours
were required to make it: about thirty, I�think.

I have one more original design still 'on
the pins,' and two color schemes planned.
So many projects, so little time!
