This is an etched bumble bee that was an epic fail. I pulled it out of my scrap bin and repurposed it for myself ! This is a small brooch that I intend to use as a top button on my shirts. Garnet and citrine beads.

This piece started out as a hoop earring! You never know on my bench what a piece will evolve into, but I usually like it.
