My 3-year-old daughter designed this necklace and I just had to share! I've been wearing it all week. I have been crazy busy getting ready for the next taping of Beads, Baubles & Jewels, so she has been making lots of visits to my studio these days.Although my daughter has her own box of pony beads and other plastic treasures, she especially loves to use "mommy's special beads" to make her own creations on hemp cord. I liked this composition so much that I added spacers between the coconut beads, strung it onto beading wire, and attached a toggle clasp.
To help your kids enjoy beading safely, always keep them under strict supervision and handle the wire, metal findings and tools yourself.

Isn't that darling! She has a great eye for balance and a good sense of quirky (referring to the collection of green beads and the leaf in the center).At 3 she already has a designer's instinct. You must be so proud!
Thanks for taking time to leave comments, everybody! And, thanks for indulging this proud mama, too. You've made my day.
Truly amazing. She shows real talent. Her artistic skill seems to take her in a completely different direction from yours, but she has inherited some of your genes. I really like it. She is gifted.
Oooh, how lovely! Beautiful work from your talented daughter.
Wow! 3? That is wonderful!
