These are the beads I received, there are just a few extras from my own stash which I forgot to remove before taking the photo ( they are those pink and brown ones with flowers in them)
And this is what I created. The beads were so lovely I wanted to make something I could wear a lot. I work in a hospital and cannot really wear any jewellery there but a nice necklace to hang my name tag from is something I always wear there.
Sorry for the bad photos. I took them on my iPad and they are not half as good as I wanted them to be...

Aren´t these beads precious! I love the little bird and the lovely flower pendant! The cinnabar type bead is from my own stash as are the red and green ones. I used cotton cord to knot the beads and added the lovely silk ribbon in the back. Adding more beads would have made this far too heavy, silk ribbon is a perfect solution, also making the necklace far more comfortable to wear.
Earrings can also be worn. These are asymmetrical which is always fun, at least with such cute beads!
