Ok my camera take craptacular photos so not the best pic ever.
I'm using wooden purple seed beads alternating with aged chrome metal beads with a rose pattern on them. The necklace was made for a lady who goes out of her way to help people at a local drop in. The purple beads are dark and represent the impoverished and desperate people she helps It's a seed bead and I took the term seed literally with the right care they can bloom and imnprove their lives.. The metal beads with their rose pattern represent the bright promise that hope gives those who are helped by this particular lady. Literally the seed blooming with hope.
Edit: Oops! Ok the caption on the picture should be hope not hoe.
