Word got out beyond, and yet another lovely bead arrived here on Saturday, which will be sent along to Russ. Thank you, Harold!

The necklace is approx. 48" long and weighs 13 ounces. Maybe not for square dancing or picking up recyclables at music festivals, but for sipping lattes, attending art openings or the theater, dining with other bead heads, perfect!
