Funny how I made this new Lariat.

I started off thinking I'd make earrings with one bead hanging like a dangle because I like to wear those. Anyway I started adding beads and more beads and when I tried it on to see what it looked like I saw my earlobe almost touching my shoulder from the weight. I reminded myself of that tribe in Africa that puts bigger and bigger earrings in their ears and end up with their earlobes hanging past their shoulders. So I added more beads and made it a necklace and I love it! Please have a look!

1. My wife uses earrings.....

...that she has collected or lost the mate to to make wine glass "reminders". She buys some clips to fit them onto the glasses and displays them on a "hand figurine". The reminders are so people can identify their glass at a party. Each person picks one out when they pour a glass of wine and attaches it to the stem of the wine glass. They look elegant and fit in quite well!

2. That is a great idea! And I bet they look beautiful.
