Creating a Silver Blooming Poppy in a Frame was the next step for me after creating the first poppy pendant. The poppy is such a graceful and wonderful flower and so abundant in California as its state flower. This depiction of the poppy also incudes a new bud and to make it special it has been framed!
 
A beautiful blue sky beaded necklace was created for unique design. It measures 19" in length, and is closed with a Thai silver "S" hook clasp.
