On the 12th Day of Christmas: Metamorphosis Necklace

Yes, it’s after Christmas but traditionally the 12 Days of Christmas didn’t start until Christmas Day and would go on with feasts and celebrations until January 6th.  I’ve always enjoyed this time of year more than any other.  It still has the glow of the holiday, we completely slow down and take time to enjoy our family.  It’s a a time of reflection as we say goodbye to the old year and a time of anticipation and hope as we welcome 2013.  I couldn’t think of a better theme for a necklace for the new year than a butterfly, the symbol of change.
