Down in the Meadow Necklace

Based on the song "Down in the Meadow in a little bitty pool
Swam three little fishies
And a mama fishie too

"Swim if you can."
And they swam and they swam all
over the dam.

My dad used to sing us kids that song when we were little.

This necklace was created with glass seed beads and carved jade fish pendants. Scattered throughout the necklace are little translucent orange beads like fish roe.
