Wood and Glass Necklace

Shop Listings – Another Struggle
Recently, I blogged about my photography struggle: https://mieloabelo.com/photos-a-struggle-for-online-shops/, and today, writing shop listings.

I had not made anything at the time, but since, I made a necklace using the oval washers and beautiful faceted petrified wood coin beads. I found those at the International Gem and Jewelry Show when it rolled through again in January. Here…
