I may have misunderstood your question, be here's my reply:o)

Uhh...I guess not...I don't usually think about those things, since I'm not selling jewelry (yet). I guess if someone else took it, claimed it as their own, and told me that *I* couldn't sell them, that would piss me off. But if I saw someone else selling them somewhere else, I don't think it would bother me. As long as *I* was still allowed rights to the design, too. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth to tell someone else that they can't make something that I do; my opinion is unpopular (at least in my sewing circles), but I don't go preaching 'my way is The Way', kwim? I just believe that if someone else can take something I came up with, and market it better, make it better (or cheaper, or faster), and generally sell it better, then I just need to find something else to do. No biggie to me; my first concern is the customer, and I would prefer them to be able to get it faster/cheaper/better, even if I can't provide that. I've no limit to my creativity, & have no qualms with letting someone that DOES use one out of my millions of ideas.

So, if I misunderstood your question, sorry! LOL ;o) If what you were asking is if I made that up all on my own, with no pattern, or preconceived idea (well, not all true; I had seen those beads used as angel wings before), then, yes, I did :o) A classic example of having about 6" of wire, a bead I loved (the rose quartz drop-thanks, Mary!), and a determination to make them *work* ;o)

Thanks for the compliment! :o)

okay - i think i understand. i've seen the angel wings used that way before too. i just happen to have those particular components around, and i was thinking how much my sister would love a pair of angels to wear.

Kyla,

Ever hear the story of the Littlest Angel? She couldn't keep her halo straight or her gown clean or ever find her harp?

Your angel is so very cute and the not-quite-right halo reminded me of that sweet story. So, find a copy and give it to your gran with the pendant.....turn the mishap into a plan!

That sounds perfect! I'm on the hunt for the story now.....;o) Thanks!!
