Beatnik Baubles

I challenged myself yesterday to create something using only the glass rocks, beads and seed beads that I scored on Tuesday.    The irregular shape of the rocks gives a beatnik flavor to both pendants, and after finishing the first I couldn't resist framing one of the Peace signs in the second.

Do you think its meaning changes
because it is presented in a different way?

I used ultra suede remnants that I purchased years ago, ribbon that I snagged wholesale in bulk, and the Tuesday components that were all on super sale~ for a grand total of about $5 for both necklaces. 

Now the earth girl inside me is insisting she's earned the right to drink a giant chocolate milkshake while shaking her moneymaker to some Fergie Ferg. 

Guess I'd better head to Dairy Queen.

    Great job on the necklaces - I am amazed by how fast you are with your beadwork. Those would've taken me a week each!

    Both necklaces are awesome but I'm partial to the peace sign. I go to DQ for a milkshake and always end up getting a hot fudge brownie sundae. No willpower here:~(

    I can't even go to Dairy Queen... I have no will power and I always "deserve" the super duper Brownie sundae deluxe! :) At least in my mind I do... in my butt... not so much! LOL

    Girllllll, LOVE the necklaces! I'm totally diggin the peace sign. I wouldn't have thought to frame it like that and I love it! It gives new meaning to some beads I have. Love it! :)

    Hope Chels is still rocking the healthy, happy dog description! Thinking about you both lots!

    {Hugs!}
