Technique Tuesday returns! 
I just posted a tutorial on making a mixed media necklace from antique piano ivories on my Jewelry Blog.

You can also see my full list of handmade beaded jewelry tutorials on this blog.

My favorite piece came home yesterday after some long months in California. Oh, how I missed it while it was gone!
It got me to thinking that I should share a post with you from another blog of mine where I have all my jewelry tutorials listed.

Oh how I need a name for this piece! It started with a hammered silver armature and peyote stitching in seed beads. I fell in love with my friend Amy’s beautiful polyclay medallions and decided to use one as a centerpiece for the centerpiece. The necklace strap has a toggle closure so that it can be worn separately as well.
I feel that the name should somehow reflect the beauty of the floral medallion, but…
I STINK AT THINKING UP NAMES!! (a little help, please?)
