Golden Lotus Necklace

I've had these leaf beads on my tray for a while, because I'd hoped to make a flower embellishment for an Artist's Trading Card with them. When I started stitching, I didn't really have a plan, and I ended up reverting to the familiar. The result was another example of our Lotus Flower pattern. I decided it was too heavy for a card, though.

Now that my younger son Stuart is two, I find I can wear jewelry without anyone trying to pull it off me (or chew on it for that matter). So I made myself a necklace with the new flower.

Thanks for looking.
