A Birthday Gift


My sister-in-law, Jennifer, and my mother-in-law recently went to Cape Cod.

Last year when I was there, I picked up several small stones on the beach to make some
wire-wrapped jewelry. I thought I would make a piece for Jennifer for her birthday.


Here is how it came out. I love this stone. Such pretty colors in it.

I really like doing this kind of work, but I'm afraid I can't do much more of it right now. The reason is that I CAN'T SEE! I have gotten so old now that my eyes cannot focus on things I need to see up close and I cannot work on it when I hold it out far enough to see it because I need it close! Ya know what I'm saying??? I'm in a bad way. I guess I need bifocals.

Yuck!

    1. Danni, I would do a tutorial if I could see to make another one! As soon as I get new glasses I will. :)
