Instead of Showtime At The Apollo. Can I get a woot woot if you know what I'm talking about?

This necklace evolved so much along the way, but I feel it's only right to show what got it started in the first place ----> [link]

I'm so happy this one is done. I've been working on it since Aug, 07. Well, off & on anyway. I put it down after awhile because I was frustrated, & then recently picked it back up. This is the first time I've done something with more than one section to it. For those more advanced jewelry makers, this was a big thing for me. Lol! I couldn't get it right. The lengths just never matched the sides up. Anyway, it's done now, after re-doing it 5 different times, & 2 of the sections were re-done a few more times than that. I had to cut out a few things from the original in order to make it work.

The bone focal was much lighter in color. I added an antique finish to it, to match it with the other two wood beads that I painted & finished. I put the wire in the shells, which was NO easy task.
