I am so thrilled to be 3rd place winner ... my prize was the green infused dichroic necklace (which arrived today) and I love it! We are getting ready to head out to a function at the University where my husband teaches and I'm wearing my pretty necklace because it matches the sweater I decided to wear. I hate having my picture taken but wanted to show y'all one of Jan's wonderful jewelry creations! My face is always red and splotchy and it's even more so right now because I went to the dermatologist and had some places zapped with nitrous oxide this morning!*&^%#@ but here you can see a piece of Jan's pretty jewelry!

Congratulations to the winners! The Little Man is so cute and it really looked like he was saying "Joy"! Too cute:)

Lin, that necklace looks like it was destined to go with that sweater. It is perfect.

Thanks Sharon & Vickie!

I know I will wear the necklace a lot. I thought it was a good contrast with the sweater. I have a flowery kinda jacket with almost the exact shades of green so it will go with that, and I have a blouse that it will work with also. I really like how Jan made the cord too, using a combination of black nylon (?) cording along with the sheer black ribbon ... and it also has the nice secure "claw" type clasp.

Can you tell I love my new necklace? Green Grin!

Unfortunately, I can't take credit for making the ribbon necklace but it balances out the weight of the pendants well.
