The second kiss...

Sometimes when I have to do something that I find challenging (like update the wholesale price list for Samunnat) I reward myself with something more creative.  And my second KISS necklace footed the bill nicely.  The beads were made at the first retreat run by the Australian polymer clay guild in Canberra- must have been at least 6 years ago - under the inspired tutelage of Pam Annesley from WA.  They sat unused in a box for many years.  Waiting...The photos show the front and back of the necklace and the detail of the polymer beads.  The jungle colours, the glass beads, the touches of gold and no doubt the size all made it seem very AMAZONIAN!(And I have just finished reading Ann Patchett's wonderful State of Wonder which may have led my thinking up that particular river!)
