Hi folks,

Our next meeting is Thursday, May 20th and we have a great project for this month. This necklace is a good way of using up a lot of different beads or is a good excuse to purchase more.

Please read carefully the supply lists for the different versions, look at the pictures and be inspired. There's a lot of room to get creative with this project, so have fun.
