Art is my "secret garden" and I surrounded this beautiful piece of art with beadwoven flowers in coordinating colors. For the flowers I used a variety of gemstones: agate, amethyst, coral, garnet, jasper. I also used size 15 seed beads from Japanese Miyuki in shades of lime green, amethyst, black, gold.
Everything is layered on a net choker necklace (15") made with size 11 green seed beads. The clasp is made from a beaded bead. Measure your neck circumference and if you want the choker to be a little larger please let me know.
This necklace is a conversation piece. You can wear it on an evening out, it will get many compliments. It is perfect for giving as a gift.
This necklace was created for the July 2010 EBW Challenge, "My Secret Garden".
