"Charmed" Amber

I love creating with paper and all forms of mixed media--including found objects.  For the past12 years I have been obsessed with it!    A madness for beads and charms also resides in my restless soul.  I do some beading when I have time, but mostly just for an occasional gift, or for myself.  Most of these obsessions have taken a back seat for a long time because I have a full-time job.  As I get closer to retirement, however, some of these things that I love so much are starting to move up in rank a little.  Here is one of them:

This one I call "Charmed Amber."  I love all the amber-colored beads and the "beaded charms."  I made earrings as well, but forgot to include them in the photo.  The necklace is 28" long, with glass beads and sterling silver findings.
