A while back, I wrote about these gorgeous CZ drops and a necklace I made using four of them. Well, I started out with six CZ teardrops and had two left – one red and the other amber. I didn’t want to use them together again since I had already done that. I also thought one of them might look a little sad alone, so I looked for a companion and found this little black glass piece with a red splash. He said he wanted to play so I said OK.
I love the pairing and I call the piece dash dot. I realize that technically it’s maybe more of an exclamation point and dot, but at this point the dash dot name has stuck.
I used black beads with white spots and black glass for the main body of the necklace and for some reason, brown crystals seemed right for the front. A few tiny shell squares and two silver crescent roll beads complete the design.

dash dot… brought back some really old memories learning morse code -.-. …. .-. .. … (my name). I think the necklace is new and fresh, unlike Morse code. Nice work.

Hi there! I am from Romania and I must say I have really enjoyed reading your articles! There are few sites/blogs that make me stick around more than 1 minute or so! I really like your creations and the stories behind them! You are truly an artist and I hope I can reach to this state some day!
Kisses.

Sorina,
Hello to you too! It’s nice to hear from you in Romania. Do you make jewelry? If you do, share some photos if you have them online. I’d love to see them.

Hello Charlene. Yes, I do make jewelries and I have a blog: http://bijubrill.blogspot.com/, where you can see my “creations”. I have to tell you that I have just started making jewelries and I have a lot to work on learning new techniques, but I will get there…Practice is everything! I am really glad that I could talk to you for a bit and I am waiting for a reply. 🙂

Sorina,
I took a look at your blog and your jewelry is beautiful. I think you are doing very well and practice is everything. I think most jewelry designers like ourselves always want to learn and get better at what we do.
