Today, I finished Brittney's necklace. Actually, I didn't do very much work on it at all because I had found the perfect pieces for it in an antique shop. Brittney's theme is "weird Victorian mouning, silver with a touch of red, smidgen of cat fur." I have no cats, but there might be some short buff pug hair in there. I had a black vintage-looking disco ball that I knew I would use when the necklace came to me. And, then I saw a small antique red beaded necklace in an antique store and it called my name and told me that Brittney's necklace wanted it. I have circled the part I did in the photo below.
And now, to start all over on my necklace. Yes, sadly, my necklace has been lost in the mail! I'm really sad about this and very grateful that Brittney and Kathy are willing to work on my necklace again.
Hmmm... Finders Keepers, eh? The individual who would get your necklace and value your artwork is a pretty lucky person. The piecing went okay, and the red piece complemented the whole appearance of the necklace.

So sorry to hear about the loss of your necklace in the mail. Must be the same jewelry junkie who stole six pairs of sterling silver earrings made with lampwork beads that Jerry sent to Molly when she was living in Chicago. We have pictures but that is all. It is very sad. Somewhere someone is wearing your creation without permission and it will not bring them good karma. Need I make a doll to stick pins in?

Brittney's necklace turned out so beautiful. I enjoyed working on it. Hope your necklace shows up. What a bummer.

Wow what an awesome necklace. I think you all carried out the theme quite well!

Silly girl. You want cat hair? You should have told me and you'd have it overnight! Looks lovely with pug though! I'm so sorry yours is lost. Perhaps it's just delayed and will show up. One can hope.

Oh, dear, bummer about your necklace being lost. I hate when that happens. Your addition to Brittany's necklace is perfect and ties in so well with the other sections.
