For example, the necklace this DIY diva is wearing is made from LED bead strands (that's what's causing the glow).

Striking, yes. But is it faithful to the core of crafting -- a return to simple, handcrafted creations? Or an inevitable evolution?

I admit I like the necklace. What do you think about the trend?
