Now, above is the design I came up with, that I incorporated into a pretty unique necklace. I was originally going to try to use the bead in a bracelet or as a key-chain, but the beads I used as companions were too sharp-edged for the first option, and the wire I used was too bendy for the second option. I've had the flower shaped beads since the start of my jewelry making career, and the frog was bought from a Hobby Lobby clearance rack almost two years ago - I found the coin in a JoAnn Fabrics' bargain bin (you know, the ones where everything costs about two dollars or so) as part of a set. The focal bead I received was one that Karen couldn't remember where she got it from, but it is utterly gorgeous and I've already worn the necklace out and about because I couldn't contain myself!
