    Gorgeous pendant Gayle

  • Sally Cooper says:

    Gayle:

    This necklace truly embodies the spirit of the Art Deco era. It has the clean and simple look with the pop of the detailed hearts. A wonderful use of those bamboo dominos (did you stain it dark?) we all have sitting around and never seem to be able to do anything with. Talk about thinking outside of the bamboo box!

  • Lisa Higdon says:

    Gayle – just lovely, what a nice combination with the dark dom. Now i’ve got to get my doms and dom sheets out and search for the antique brass chain and findings I bought on e-bay before my dear geek husband rerouted the ebay page to show my bank balance instead… Thank goodness he hasn’t found out about Ten Two!

  • Sally Hackney says:

    Such a pretty piece. I can see this with a little charm hanging off the heart.
    Thanks, Sally sjhackney@yahoo.com

  • Laura says:

    Lovely piece, Gayle. I particularly love the depth of colour in the domino itself, it’s very rich. Did you stain it a deeper shade or did it come that way? It’s gorgeous, and while the difference (deeper than usual colour) is subtle, it does a great deal to set off the image you used. Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us.

    Please omit my name from the drawing, as I’ve already won a subscription. I’m commenting only because I want to express my appreciation and my admiration for the lovely work shown here.
