Charity begins ....

I was just updating the front page of my website with a photo of the modular necklace I designed for the Scottish Football Hall of Fame dinner tomorrow night and realised I haven't actually written a proper description of two previous charity necklaces.

Two years ago I made one for my beloved cousin Irene's Pink Lunch in aid of Breast Cancer Research - freshwater pearls, amethyst Swarovski crystals and tiny pink irridescent seed beads twisted with copper, silver and pewter tubes.

Then last year I made a most spectacular piece for the Women of Influence lunch, raising funds for Action for Children - an insane sculpture based on a metre of heavy sterling silver wire interwoven with glass beads, crystals and semi-precious stones, suspended on a heavy chain.  Complete fantasy!
