These are vintage Alabaster glass beads from Japan, circa 1940s, which I also bought from oldragonlair. I love alabaster, and this necklace design is a decent first attempt, but I still think it needs something else. It needs more personality, maybe something more like this from Ruche?
P.S. for pretty wooden jewelry for sale, there is this bracelet from Ruche.

I love the necklace as is. But a little more personality could not hurt either. :) I like the ruche idea. But others would be a pendant of sorts or a tissue like flower slightly off center. But congrats and keep up the good work! I look forward to more!

Ooh, I like your airy, flower off-center idea, Torie! Great idea!
hahahaha....all I could think of was Anne of Green Gables: "She had an alabaster brow..." LOL. Great job, Meghs! keep it up! and bring samples to the reunion! you never know who might like to buy some from you..... =)
I like the soft glow of the alabaster. Torie's idea is nice. Another idea could be stringing a green bead (e.g. pearl or crystal) in place of every other knot.
You and Sean take some nice pictures. What do you use?
Nikon D40. It is a nice little machine.
