Here is a dainty little necklace I just finished in time for today. I snapped a quickie before my day gets ahead of me and I never get this posted. I need to get back to my real camera for blog photos. It will never be my strong point, but I can give a little more than the cell phone photos.

I had no intention of doing a rock today. I was just messing around with beaded chain ideas. I got about an inch into this chain and thought it would made a good base of a bezel. I grabbed a rock, wrapped the little piece of beaded chain around it and I was right! It is pretty much a square stitch chain and has enough give for cabs/rocks that are not perfectly round/oval. I will certainly use it again. Maybe I'll be back next Wednesday ~ sure hope so!

Fabulous!!
oh! I didn't realize it was reversible!! I love the earthy, simplicity of this .... letting that cool rock take the stage. I bet you had fun beading round, and round :)
I totally miss it. I hope for MANY more Rocks Off On Hump Day posts (don't worry, it's still okay to take the summer off). This necklace is a beauty. Simple and extremely lovely. You have a great eye for picking rocks, and then you know exactly what beads to pair them with. I wish this rock could tell it's story. From Lake Michigan, to hanging out on Christine beading table -- soon to be nestled in someone's cleavage?
