It’s so gorgeous!

AJ, I have in mind that you should make the crystallized version of this, you should come over and bead with me some morning if you would like to. I should be done with this one tomorrow. Am building a removable bronze frame, because I can’t stand not to.

Sure, I’d love to come over and bead and discuss this and how it could have crystals added :)

Oh Kate, you are such a tease. This project from what I can see looks like one fine piece of beadwork. Getting anxious to see what your book has in store for your fans. I’m sure it will be stunning.
