it really is time to start considering the holidays. there is a recession after all, and i'm thinking for christmas i may just make my gifts. i also may just make gifts for other people to give as well. lately i've been crocheting up a storm, and have had requests for some necklaces. time to update my etsy store...

the crystals are vintage chandelier pieces, which i crocheted gold colored wire around and attached to silk thread. i am thinking i will speckle a few of these vintage star rhinestones along the top of each...a delicate double-wrap silk chain with silver beads woven inthe feathers were an experiment, and i'm liking how they hang with the chandelier crystals, though a friend suggested i try making a necklace of just feathers...
