Very nicely done. The colors would be great in the Fall. I am going to use the basic design and use shades of lighter blue and sea foam green for a summer necklace. And why not a matching bracelet? It also gives me a chance to use up some left over chain and beads. Thank you for an awesome yet easy idea.

Very pretty. One question though, what were the 4" pieces of chain for? I couldn't really tell in the video. Thanks so much for sharing this. http://www.regina-atthelake.blogspot.com
