15. Nice! I Like the Leaf Necklace

Feb 2020

I have been making jewelry off and on for over 20 years. I like to use Milagros. After my bout with breast cancer back in 2014, I started making "healing" and "aches and pains" necklaces. I give a healing breast necklace to any of my friends or daughters' friends who are being treated for breast cancer. I have neuropathy caused by nerve damage from the chemo and working with jewelry findings (and quilting) helps keep the numbness away.

My other favorite is working with genuine turquoise beads which can get expensive. I lurk on Shop GoodWill and Ebay to see if I can win a turquoise necklace that I can take apart to use the stones.
