This is prolly my largest and most expensive piece i have ever made. the necklace is about 2/3's the size of your typical rosary, over a foot long closed.

the beads are made from pure jade,and are about 3/4's of an inch long and about a half inch thick.

the cord is a thick 2mm black leather cord with pure copper wire.

overall calculating the cost of materials, she took a good $55 dollars just to make to make.

but that didn't matter because i made her for the shear joy of it, i was at a local bead shop in Colorado and i found some beautiful jade beads. hand carved and calling my name, along with them, i saw this interesting lil clay pendent, that looked pretty unremarkable by itself, but i saw something with it. took them home for a hefty cost. didn't care. and started to create.

the hardest part was the mask, i tried many designs n it before finalizing on the simple wrap you see now, i like how it looks like a kind of Tibetan...African...Wisconsin tribal mask of some sort, i don't know, it just feels right.

I'm entering this into the RMFC art show.
