A few years ago I collected the beads of the talented Anne Choi. One by one I purchased them, waiting a few months between (gathering those dollars), until I had enough to make this necklace. As you may know, I adore insects, and Anne's beads are so full of detail and life, I just couldn't resist. She also makes marvelous 'quote' beads and 'mandrake' pins that get my blood racing... But its her insects that I adore! (sterling beads and clasp came from a local bead shop)
