Bead Crochet Necklace with Bone Charm

I've been really excited to complete this most recent Bead Crochet Necklace.

My inspiration came because the recipient looks amazing in black, white, yellow. I wanted to add the charm because we share a love of the show Bones.

This will be her graduation gift tonight. I hope she likes it!

I used Size 8/0 Seed Beads in a rotation of white, yellow, white, black. It's a little more dainty than the Size 6/0 Seed Beads in a 6-color rotation which should work well because she's more daintily structured.

(Thanks again, dearest friend, for sharing your amazing jewelry-making tools with me so I could finish the job well!)

    Hi- Found you through Tea Rose’s hop and am a new follower. I’m Your projects. I used to bead a lot, and am trying to get back into it because I still have a lot of it left! And I like to crochet and knit- seems like a perfect combo! I hope you have time to follow my life of crafting and adventure in South Africa at http://withoutcomplexities.blogspot.com

    Have a great week!
