Getting Hooked On Jewelry…

So… I have had this strand of tsavorite chips for the longest time. I think I bought them in back in November of 2004. They’ve been sitting in my bead box just gathering stringdust. And, me not knowing what to do with them. Basically, I bought them on impulse, or rather instinct. If anything, I bought them for their magnificent color. To be truthful, most of the beads I buy are bought on instinct, without a set design. I’ll buy a strand and not really know what I plan on doing with it. Although, I’ve never avoided the whole design first method either. But yesterday, I realized what I wanted to do with it. I have finally a design that I want it to be in. The piece will be a mix of the tsavorite chips and faceted rondelle white moonstone with a beautiful rectangle green Chrysocolla pendant, another piece I bought on instinct. I think I’ll call it “The Green Mile”.
