Breast Cancer Survivor Necklace
I saw an advertisment for a Breast Cancer Necklace that was $128.00 and it had 3 things hanging from it. This particular piece is what I consider very embellished and loaded with all kinds of Swarovski Austrian Crystals and Sterling Silver....The cost for a necklace embellished like this one is $150.00 and comes with the earrings...I made this one as a tribute to my Mother In Law who had one of the rarest forms of breast cancers that you can get. When diagnosed she was at a stage 3 and the doctor said she was ready at any moment to go into stage 4. She had to take Chemo for 3 months before they would even do the surgery on her to remove both breast. After the surgery she went through 6 weeks of radiation therapy and then almost another full year of a weaker Chemotherapy...
Her name is Anita "Joy" Hoyle and she is an outsanding women and a 3 year breast cancer survivor.....
Love derra
A quote from her when she found out..."I've had a wonderful life...I had that great love, I've never been rich but I've never wanted for anything...Always had food to eat and a nice warm bed to sleep in...I've held my little babies and felt they're arms around my neck...Above all I've loved God and had his love in return...If it's my time to go...I'm ready..........Anita

As usual my pieces of work come about for a reason and do have a meaning for me. I composed a notebook several months ago that I call the Bio book and it includes little love stores about each of the pieces. If you purchase a piece I'll send the bio of that piece along with the purchased work.

Florida
No I've never been to Florida but I have to say a little bit about this piece...just so you know...This is a slab of kingman Turquoise that my husband picked up for me in Arizona at the mine several years ago...I knew the moment I saw it that it looked like Florida so I took the whole mariner take on the design of the piece...It contains lots of turquoise , shells and swarovski Austrian crystals in various sizes and specialty shapes...At the top of the pendant between the stems that go up around the neck is a lab grown opal...The special thing about this piece for me is the earrings which I adore and feel they came out like a very nice happy accident...They are stud type earrings and come with the piece in price....derra

Baby Moses
I have to mention the reason for the name...This small piece of dichroic glass in the center looks like a baby wrapped in a blanket...So I just started beading and the next thing I know it kinda looks Egyptian and then the Moses floating down then Nile was forever in my brain....Thus Baby Moses.....derra
