Ceramic bead necklace - the Pangean Necklace

This project uses some of Keith O'Connor's lovely beads, and features a hand-made brass hook by Sarah Tector.

That mannequin it is posed on is pretty small, she's only about 18" tall. The necklace is actually 20 inches long!

Dessie Cuff Project and the Ball Chain Contest

We are in love with the #20 big ball chain here at the O. It's so dramatic and hefty. We can't stop using it for just about everything.

The Dessie Cuff, above, uses a length of the chain, lashed to a cuff bracelet with leather. We've also put large-hole beads on it, braided it, tied it, painted it. I'm thinking about Decopatching some.

We also have a contest for you. We want to see what you make with our #20 ball chain, and we are going to offer a $50 gift certificate to the winner. Visit the contest page here to find out the details.
