  3. Great designs! I especially like the second necklace. It is one that would go with so many of my things.

  4. Beautiful necklaces, Heather. I would wear both of them often, especially the second one. I like the variation in bead sizes and how well they compliment each other. Thanks for being in the hop!

  12. You have created a Spring- and an Autumn forest (: Both have something
    ♥ special in their own way!

  13. The mix you received is so interesting: red line marble and earth tone beads. I'm totally impressed with & love the red line marble necklace you've created! It's elegant & dressy, beautiful gemstone and filigree jewelry! Red line marble is heavy & the cut is a challenging one -- and you rocked it! Wow, I'm very impressed.

    With your second piece, I'm thinking Lisa sent along goldstone (actually a glass), orange agate, and jasper ovals, along with smaller beads: again, you created gorgeousness. Bringing the green into the earthy mix creates a colorway that brings the forest to life!

    Excellent designing (as Dini said, spring and autumn) and wonderful patterns, colorways. You really rocked a challenging bead mix that would be out of the box for anyone! I'm so impressed with your work!

  14. What a great mix of beads for your Forest pieces. Your first necklace is simple yet elegant. And the second one is so cute with all the little 'leaves' hanging from it as if hanging from the branches of the trees. Very pretty.

  15. Lovely necklaces -- so different from each other yet both saying forest!

  16. I'm used to seeing your bead weaving in person unlike many others that commented here. Heather is a speed bead weaver, all. For her to get out of her complex comfort zone and create 2 contrasting and beautiful necklaces was a challenge worth waiting for. Congratulations my dear friend, Heather.
