STORY TELLING AMULET NECKLACE
Here is
an opportunity for you to tell a story of your life, or a certain momentous
period in your life, a story of your family history or whatever story you wish
to relate through the art of beading. This unique work of art will be as
beautiful hanging as an art piece on your wall as it will be when you are
wearing it. My own Story Telling Frog Necklace retells the tale of a 10-year
period in my life from the period I lived in South China to my coming to have the
frog as my special amulet - which has lead to where I am today.
