Where's Sugar Skull?
My daughter models the necklace
Día de los Muertos necklace: serpentine leaves, chalk
turquoise, howlite, mother of pearl rondelles & stars, black obsidian, polymer clay
sugar skull pendant with peyote bail. The sugar skull focal is by Benita Richards of Bitchin Bags by Benita, an amazing shop of handcrafted bags, wallets, hats, and purses. Benita's bags and accessories are outstanding! Everything is top quality, sewn or crocheted and knitted perfectly. And everything is completely cool! The black sugar skull bag in the top picture and the red sugar skull bag in the last photo are both my bitchin bags from Benita. I transformed the sugar skull zipper pull into a necklace made to compliment both bags.
Big Hugs, TJ
