Thanks Cyndi, I have tons of left over Turquoise beads that I didn’t know what I wa going to do with. I’m sure my daughter will love a necklace like this.
Sue – who could ever had “leftover” turquoise?
Thanks, Cyndi. I’ve been experimenting with this type of design.
LOL!! I’m happy this will help
Paul I guess I have so much turquoise because I live very near Kingman Arizona and buy a lot of it.
Oooo, lucky you, Sue!
No Cyndi you are the lucky one. You got to go to Italy. I was stuck over here in this dreaded heat. Absolutely beautiful photos from Italy by the way. That is the closest I will ever get to seeing it. Thank you so much for sharing them.
I had no idea how beautiful it was over there. Sure makes me wish I could get over there now.
Oh, believe me, Sue…I feel undeservedly blessed to have been able to make the trip!
