The gift recipient was kind enough to snap a photo of the necklace and e-mail it to me. Here it is (be kind):

related to this post I made last week: I participated in a holiday swap via one of the parenting forums I participate in. So I wanted (of course) to make her a piece of jewelry as part of the gift. She liked blue and I felt like doing something kind of sparkly. I went through my 'large' firepolish stash and came up with some largish (14mm?) aquamarine AB round crystals. I had some
4mm plain bicone-ish crystals and a hank of the $1/strand pearls from South Pacific. I designed a necklace with a kind of helix-twist to it using 2 strands of SoftTouch - on strand 1 I put 4 pearls and 4 small crystals, on strand 2 I did the opposite of 4 crystals, then 4 pearls. I ran both strands through a bali-style daisy spacer, the large round AB crystal and another daisy. then I repeated the 4&4 stringing. It turned out really, really neat!!
