But as I looked at these lovely stones, for some strange reason, I was reminded of a couple of wonderful days spent in Venice many years ago. The colors and the swirls through the large red agate reminded me of the tour of Murano and watching the glassblowers. Hence, the name Venetian Fall.</span></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div>Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15655715619170645157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497069628591909270.post-36421181543707801852007-08-10T13:30:00.001-07:002008-11-18T17:55:45.946-07:00African Turquoise Necklace<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFN0iPWbaxkVbeF2Slxh-rFzz_QoIsXZ9EI3eLSCdZYKfLPlpKCrY1tLAHeT4fLEHq2d3qzWzrAwqcTL_XYm-rQCEQGTlZHSwF8mOKikRdEs_eSpzx0qXgzZxx1bM7NIJ2lYW_FQIbP_I/s1600-h/P8090017.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5097172191318009218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFN0iPWbaxkVbeF2Slxh-rFzz_QoIsXZ9EI3eLSCdZYKfLPlpKCrY1tLAHeT4fLEHq2d3qzWzrAwqcTL_XYm-rQCEQGTlZHSwF8mOKikRdEs_eSpzx0qXgzZxx1bM7NIJ2lYW_FQIbP_I/s400/P8090017.JPG" border="0" /></a>African Turquoise and Sterling Silver<br /><br /></div>Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15655715619170645157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497069628591909270.post-80897017680584312342007-08-04T06:20:00.000-07:002008-11-18T17:55:46.037-07:00Copper Bracelet<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKLl6Ew0z9a1D-vZuFkrr6vXkP7vBchqBA45QbkKdEzswMvaBc-I9VYPqUg0SpgUCXiSsRK96S0DGLBRbd0yJQLNV0WIeW-FiX_pjgU803lTu8UazeueRn8bilPuk4T_WYrc5_CsB4dHA/s1600-h/P7310527_01.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094834955084197490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKLl6Ew0z9a1D-vZuFkrr6vXkP7vBchqBA45QbkKdEzswMvaBc-I9VYPqUg0SpgUCXiSsRK96S0DGLBRbd0yJQLNV0WIeW-FiX_pjgU803lTu8UazeueRn8bilPuk4T_WYrc5_CsB4dHA/s400/P7310527_01.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-family:arial;">Copper Bracelet</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">I had several "orphan" beads lying around and decided to make this bracelet.
