Today marks the end of my first of approximately 2.5 weeks in Japan. Figuring that I might have time to bead, I brought some things along with me. As it turns out, beading is a very popular hobby around here. So, as I was wandering around Tokyo, I found a huge concentration of bead stores in the Akasukabashi area.This strand of pearls is one of my Akasukabashi finds. I couldn't resist the luster and color of these pearls for the price. :)
So anyway, I paired the pearls with some faceted garnet discs I brought with me, and some metal charms I bought on my trip to DC last year. These came out so cute that I made a couple of pearl and garnet links to make into a matching necklace (once I get back home and get into the chains and clasps already in my stash).Since I don't get out of meetings until after dark, I'm stuck with artificial indoor lighting.
But anyway, here they are... my dainty little Tokyo pearl and DC garnet earrings!
