Red Sun Rising - Bead Embroidery Necklace

Well, I haven't been around for a while now! My husband and a business partner were hard at work opening a microbrewery and taproom here in Dubuque and it's (finally!) up and running - it looks to be a great success! In that time, I was doing my best to keep the home-fires burning - I set aside some of my "stuff" to make sure he was getting what he needed (ie: clean clothes, hot food and clean dishes, etc.) while working 12-hour days.

It feels good to be back to beading - and have started a new project called "Red Sun Rising". As usual, nearly all of the beads (even some of the seed beads!) have been salvaged from vintage and "junk" jewelry. Here are a few pics to tease you - I'll be adding more in the next few days...

Thanks for stopping and Enjoy :)
