more skull jewelry

as always, one thing leads to another and another

i enjoyed the last 2 necklaces so much and had some leftover

skulls and just had to make more

searching through my stash i found a fun skull cameo and lava beads

combined with red pearls and metal  

i like the look

i also found a cross which i filled with resin clay

it didn't take long before i designed several necklaces

and have ideas for a few more,

just hope they have some left if stock
