Dreams Do Come True.....

This is a custom piece for a friend. She saw a necklace in a dream and emailed me to make it. This is what I ended up with.

It was a lot of fun to do. I took the description that she gave me, she used the term "flatish beads", I just love that.....flatish beads....and just sat down at the torch and did whatever came to mind. I had no idea if I was on track or not, I just melted glass and combined the colors that attracted my attention as I worked. She wanted bright colors on black with a big heart dangling down.

When I finished it and emailed her a picture, she swears that it IS the necklace in her dream!

The flower on the heart is one of the hibiscus that I've been making...along with colorful dots, squiggles and a bright yellow swirl that represents the sun.

I love doing custom work! Especially for wonderful friends.

Getting to do a piece like this reminds me just how lucky I am to get to do something that is so much flippin' fun........every single day!!! Sure beats the hell out of a real job!
