More Chunk.

I think I got my mojo back today. In any case I got a lot of pictures taken. Imna show you this massive necklace I put together after a friend was complaining that there's not good waist-length necklaces out there.

I just decided to go over the top and toss in everything remotely dark colored I had. Kind of how I make bangles by first sorting out colors.

To another piece I can't get a decent image of...
That's an astronomer and God's hand holding out a star overhead.

And if I thought those were hard, the next two pieces had me disavowing bracelet-making for good.

Crunk is like some serious old school. Thanks for the video, it took me back to NYC circa 1984, just waiting for someone to start a break!

Anyway, LOVE the necklace. Just scored some serious goodies today from a good friend, a bag of old ivory Mah Jongg (sp?) pieces! And some dog teeth. Can't WAIT to get some necklaces made, and take some decent pictures (hopefully). xoxo

that music drives me nuts...wish those boys had tighter pants on. when i was a girl the boys wore tight pants and they looked a lot cuter...look at old pics of the 60s dudes and you will se what i mean. besides dat...they really are great dancers...i liked crizzle.
that big ole neck lace is gonna need a strong woman plysicallly to wear it cause its not exactly dainty.

Oh, that necklace,...I'm drooling. It's about the coolest ever! I bet it was a 'B' to get to lay right, too - but it sure looks awesome. Your cuffs are all neat looking too and I think the photos look fine. And the rings are heaven - LOVE those!

You've got so many awesome details in that necklace. I could just stare at it for. . .a while taking it all in. I just might do that.
