Summertime…….

….is hot here in SW Oregon – especially the Rogue Valley, where I live- temps near 100F and above in late July and August. As I age,  I like the heat less and less…love to garden though!  So when it’s too HOT to play in our garden retreat, I think of what to create indoors.  Today, it was this domino necklace!

I got the idea for the domino ‘bead’ from Ten Two Studios.  Using the cool new domino images, and a gold skeleton key, I created this necklace.  I added one of my paper UTEE beads, jump rings, glass beads and then crocheted the necklace with 4-ply waxed linen.  The dominoes were ‘painted’ by simply using an orange Bic brand permanent marker. These have no odor at all, and the colors are super!!!

  I am going to be completely honest, I saw the small picture and at first thought, that is a rather odd necklace. I clicked and looked at the larger size pic.. and *I love it!* Very cool,, I love Crows and keys and PAPER beads. That is awesome.
