I sat down at the computer to write about this serious topic, and realized that my jewelry surrounds me. I didn’t notice it before, but I hang my work all around the house. 
I have a few favorites. My turtle treasure necklace (above) has to be my most favorite - it's for sale on Etsy. I priced it high; someday, someone will come along and buy it, and I‘ll be sad to see it go. I‘ll just have to make another to be my favorite.
I started out making jewelry in the first place a few years ago because I couldn't find a turquoise necklace to wear! Yes, me! working in a museum in the southwest, and I couldn't find a turquoise necklace. Luckily, there was a bead store in town at the time and I made a chipped, double strand necklace (that's it to the left; sorry, my photo skills weren't the best back then.) After a few compliments on my handiwork, I decided to make more jewelry - for family and friends. The great thing about beading is, you can make pieces to fit the person who will wear it.
BTW, I sold this necklace a few months ago - just had it out at a craft fair, and someone wanted it. I couldn’t deny the sale. Now I miss it. Come to think of it, I’ll have to make another. {:-Deb

I enjoyed visiting your space. Thank you for sharing.
Come to think of it, I hang my creations everywhere too. I sold a piece about a month ago, it took me two days to find it...I was going crazy!

Love the bear model!
I find wearing my stuff is good advertising, besides, a girl should treat herself sometimes :)
