I designed and made this necklace when I was visiting my son recently. I used Swarovski Crystals and Beads bought by Beads Direct.

Your necklace is really cute Ann. I love the icy blue pearls and crystals on the chain! x

This is my Halloween spider ring. It is made using gold plated copper wire which is woven to create the shank. For the body I used tigers eye for protection and green Quartz which is said to transmute negative energies into positive ones. Spiders, since ancient times have been used as a symbol for power and strength. I do run quite a long way when I see a real one though!

Wow! We love your beady spider, especially the the addition of the gemstone beads! x

It was a challenge to macrame with elastic, but I can see how this technique would work with other materials. Based on a tutorial by DeGroot.
