It's Day 14!
For those just tuning in, I'm doing 15 Days of Content here on my blog. It's my little way of celebrating the fact that this blog has been around for 15 years.
Today's entry is another Show and Tell.
You see, I recently had the good fortune of acquiring a mass of sand cast African trade beads:
And for today's entry, I wanted to show you what I made with them. (Well, some of them. As I said, I now have a lot of them.)
I'm sure it will be no surprise that I made a necklace:
...Although it might be a surprise that it doesn't have a tassel. It can be done! ;)
In addition to the trade beads, I have also used tiny faceted lapis rounds, shell rounds, red frosted glass rounds, and two different shades/shapes of wood.
I really don't make multi-strand necklaces that often... I should look into changing that.
Thanks for stopping by today! Tomorrow is the last day of my 15 Days of Content... I hope you'll come back to see what I have planned.
Have a lovely day, everyone!

Another way I'm celebrating is by offering a coupon code for my Etsy store!
Simply use the code BLOG15 when checking out for 15% off! Code expires once my 15 Days of Content is over, on August 3rd.
I love the necklace - it looks like a scarf that comes alive with African patterns. I was curious about sand casted beads. I looked it up and learnt something new today.
