I promised my sister I would make her a fun & funky badge holder to soften the blow of having to card in and out all day at her job. It's been at least a year now, so it is pretty overdue. Yes I take my procrastination seriously! I love these purple, black, and ivory lampwork beads even though there is not a pair among them - no matchy matchy here... I love the organic look on the focal bead with its silvered ivory dots. The wire links are very free flow and are hammered to give a little extra shine.
