Donna Kato's Squash Blossom Class

Finally finished the awesome necklace Donna Kate showed us how to make in her Clay Carnival class. Donna is a great teacher and very calm and thorough in her directions and tips. Her class was lots of fun and she does a great job organizing the Clay Carnival. She has opened the registration for the 2012 classes, so if you are interested, check out: Clay Carnival.blogspot.com, or craftedu.com
This necklace received a number of compliments when worn. I tried to make earrings to go with it, and finally finished them too. After wearing them for about an hour, my ears said "no more". The weight was too much. The top pieces have now been turned into mini pendants for friends. The lower pieces are still earrings and echo the elements on the pendant.
