The Reveal!
I've made a small number of polymer clay beads over the last two years and have had fun learning all sorts of techniques.  One of the most amazing artists in polyclay is Eugena Topina, whose tutorial I used for the square beads in this necklace.  Luckily, I found a mix of bugle and seed beads and incorporated the shiniest ones into this design.  I'm proud of this necklace because it's the first one using my own beads as focals.

I really need to improve with the photography of jewelry.  Obviously, the holes aren't as even as I'd like, which made it challenging to string.  Next time I think I'll be more cautious with making the holes more parallel and large enough to string easily.  But for a first run, I'm pretty pleased!
