The Reveal! "Fire Within"

 This month we shopped at FusionBeads.com. Lorelei picked out the initial components to work from, you can see the shopping list here.  Everyone that participated used the components that they could get their hands on, and the rules were loose in that we could use a focal of our choosing, and any additional beads could also be added. I chose to create a necklace using all of her initial components as well as some Bali silver, pewter, brown iris glass beads, carnelian, and some very cool mixed fiber yarn. I call my piece "Fire Within".
Come blog hop with me.    Enjoy!

    Wiiiiild!
    I love it!
    Makes me smile.
    Please come around my blog tomorrow, and check another necklace I made for the challenge, but didn't get around to photograph yet. It is kind of a lame version of yours, in a sense. :-)

    What a combination, I love the spraying of color from the yarn it goes so well with the bottom half of the necklace. So creative!

    WOW!
    I'm sorry I didn't get to your post until this morning- was away in NY all weekend.
    This is fantastic, I love the unexpectedness of the fiber around the back- and love the double strand at the front with the leaves dangling. Really cool! Thanks for playing along!
