Melissa

Well, the sun didn't come out, but I got a half decent photograph of her! Melissa is the Bee Goddess - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melissa and the honey tones in this describe her perfectly!
Composed of three squivolis - rounded square crystals - a lot of 3mm Swarovski round crystals, and a lot of size 15 gold plated seedbeads, she is probably the most delicate and intricate necklace I've made for a long time! I have to credit Carol Wilcox Wells with the original design for bezelling the squivolis, which were published as earrings in Bead & Button magazine a while ago, but I take the credit for adapting and naming them!
