Nature Box Necklace

What do you do when a client asks you for something

 you have not yet made?

It's a challenge and I always love a challenge.

So I say MAKE IT!

(At the least try.)

Several months ago a friend needed a crab for article 

she was doing so I made her this box.

 I had never made a glass box but I had this little crab....

Long story, any way I posted this crab necklace and a client saw it

 and asked me to make her one, but more organic with no shells.

I think she had more confidence in me than I had in myself.

Remembering the crab box and what was involved

 I was not real sure I could do it again.

I did it!

Then I made a second nature box, 

this one with a butterfly.

I love butterfly's.

You can view nature from three glass sides

of these necklace's.

There is clear glass on the top of the necklace

 for a view from above.

To give these sweet little Nature Boxes a little depth

 I have placed colorful paper in the background.

After making two of these necklace's

I was inspired to make more. 

I wanted to see if I could work a little

faster and improve my craftsmanship.

What's that old saying?

"Practice makes perfect."

Like I always say,

" If you don't try you will never know".
