Soap Logs at JD Redhouse in Willits

Simple and thoughful wood bead necklace.

My sister-in-law Gail made this necklace and gave it to me at Thanksgiving 2013.  I appreciate the careful selection of each wooden bead that was naturally harvested South American wood and hand painted Agate.  I love the beautiful clasp, too.  Gail also made the pretty bag that the beads were gifted in.
