| When-Ever-More!! |
| This works with my jeans or black velvet gown. The beads were a Christmas gift (this year) from my brother-friend. They are Blue Agate lentils and are quite old. They have a diagonal length-wise hole and implimenting them into anything take some thought. I felt making each one a focal drop with the copper spiral finding worked the best to present these incredible beads. |

| I was asked to if I could create something with more than one focal bead in it. I have been real into the Spiral Herringbone lately so this is what i ended up with. I really should call it Lydia's necklace since she is the one who gave me this challange in the first place. |
