Wheel of fortune necklace . Created by Carlos Olivier

My father was recently hospitalized after complaining of abdominal pain. He ended up being rushed in for emergency surgery. He has since made a partial recovery and is at home. When visiting him in the hospital it really bothered me to know that one of the toughest guys I know was having trouble standing up. While visiting I showed him my healing necklace I had made from my last post and he had really liked it. I wanted to make him one and stopped in at my local bead shop, Earth Gems downtown. I poured over there selection in search for the right pendant for my dad. I came across a wheel made of obsidian . I asked the shopkeeper about it. He told me it was called The Wheel of Fortune. He told me it brings is success and good fortune. I paired the wheel with some lava stone and banded agate beads and wrapped my chain links in copper. I enjoyed making this necklace and since the last one I made, I have gotten quicker and my links have gotten tighter.
