Closeup of focal in this design.
Inspiration starting point.  Beads and ribbon.
You can see the focal leaf in this photo of my studio stash I pulled to design with these beads and ribbons.  In its former life it was a brooch.
I only used to beads in this design as well as silk ribbon as I was looking for a more simple design.
32 length of chain.
Necklace shown draped on a column.  The overall length of this piece is 34 which includes the 2 x 2 leaf focal.

The last design in this series of Artbeads elements that I added to my own stash of vintage elements to create a total of 5 pieces.  I've featured 4 of them in varying posts to show you how imagination can create something useful out of junk.

MimiToria writes: You my friends, are awesomely generous with your comments. Thanks all the same, I truly appreciate the support each of you have been to me since restarting my jewelry design business again this year. After designing for 10 years, taking off 2 years and being back at it again, my head spins with inspiration and I don't have enough hours in the days to create all that is busting out of my brains. Just doing what I can to help preserve small JUNK treasures from the landfill.
