With these beads

Hooray!  I finished my necklace using a couple of my first lampwork beads, some fused silver and my first ArtClay Silver charms.  I certainly learned a lot along the way and enjoyed every minute of it.

 One of the things I was determined to do was to make a toggle clasp out of the ArtClay Silver.

There are jasper beads from a necklace I bought in the early nineties at an artisan market at La Fusterie.  The silver beads are from a bracelet I bought on a trip to Paris that had come apart and was irreparable.  I have enough materials that I intend to make a pair of earrings and a bracelet......
