Cynthia's Pendant


Later this year, we - that is my friend Barbara of Twines and Beads, Heather and Gerlinde - the two ladies that did a book with me for Michelle of the BeadBook, are going to visit our friend Cynthia in Namibia. Barbara needed my project urgently, as I am on my way to Nelspruit, well .... no inspiration at first and then it came in floods. Eventually I decided on this pendant -hope the ladies will flock to our classes. My other projects will be shown soon.

Royalty


This design had been inspired by one of my Master The Peyote Stitch classes. It is sometimes difficult to stay that one step ahead of
the students. I used 11/0 Treasures and Delicas to create the ancient looking pendant and necklace. The clasp is very interesting. A hollow embellished (beaded bead) and a pearl. This is a friction fit clasp. Didn't think anything else would suit this style
