Playing with a fall palette in this multi-layered bead necklace.
Handcrafted polymer clay beads strung on heavy elastic cord
with genuine Swarovsky crystal.
The nights have grown cooler and the cicadas are buzzing in the tree tops signaling summer is beginning to wane only just as it seems to have started! At YIKES! Studio while I am still creating lively summer patterns and colors, my interests are starting to turn to the fall palette.
At this weekend's Audubon Show at Gilsland Farm in Falmouth, I will have some lovely fall inspired pieces available to those seeking something special, in a more subdued palette, that will carry over through the fall and winter.
My fun beaded necklaces, strung on elastic without a clasp, have continued to be a very successful item this summer. Many customers have really liked the easy on off of these pieces and the price continues to be very reasonable for such a special and unique necklace.
