Today is the day that everyone gets to see what I have been very busy doing. This year I was paired with the wonderfully talented Palak Udeshi http://kalaabhushan.blogspot.in/ from India and received from her some of the most beautiful beads. I could not wait to get started in doing something with them. And this is what I came up with. Even the material for the cord is from her . I had lots of fun coming up with this design and it was ever evolving as I worked on it
I also had a few beads left from what I sent her and I managed to get this done .
