Paper bead necklaces

I strung some of my beads onto some fine beadalon wire, and used sterling silver for the bead charms. Crimp beads as separators and I have a pretty and delicate looking necklace. I also made a chunkier one of five rows.

She also chose the yarn combination for the hair, to coordinate with the robes. She sewed the little felt bag for the Kokopelli , a
