I've been having fun changing things up on my blog - I was able to fix the picture so you can see it bettah! Thanks, Lis, for the suggestion to post the image in the body of the message - I think it came out so much nicer, you can now see the twisties a little better.

The components are made out of 16 guage brass wire . The focal bead is wrapped with 22 guage square wire and 18 guage half round. I had a lot of fun putting this necklace together - almost every bead is different. I got these colorful beads (mixed semi-precious stone chips) from Szarka: www.turquoisemagpie.com

I wear this necklace when I'm in a colorful mood!
