Back to the icy branches and my Artbeads winter enchantment inspiration. This time I'm more literally looking at the branch shape...taking it to the charms section for some shopping.
I actually just put in the word "branch" to see what I could find and there was this really cool branch in a few antiqued base metal finishes. I opted for the brass, since that's the latest obsession here in my workroom. The branch looked a little bit like a creepy haunted house hand, but I got over that initial thought and now I love it featured on this necklace.
I'm a little derelict in my design duties because the very cool ceramic pendant that's also a part of this focal is from a local designer but I can't remember her name nor can I find her card. I picked it up at an art show down in Norfolk last summer. Of course I rounded out the design with another big-ass pearl from the Swarovski bead selections.

Now I'm in the mood for a frosty popsicle.
