Moonlit Seductress -- Sexy Mermaid Necklace with Dichroic Cab

Description

She rises from the ocean, water streaming from the ebon curls that cascade down her back. Her voice calls out in dulcet tones, singing a siren's song that echoes across the waves. Moonlight glistens off of supple human flesh and sparkling fish scales. Her eyes are as uncaring as the stars, but that hasn't stopped countless sailors and fishermen from falling under her spell.

For March's "Temptation" challenge, I chose to represent the oldest and most dangerous temptation of all, lust. The focal piece of my one of a kind necklace is a sparkling dichroic cabochon by Laura Kramarsky of Torchsongs Glassworks, depicting a nubile nude mermaid under a crescent moon. What could be more tempting to a lonely sailor, at sea for months on end?

I've used a variety of embroidery and beadweaving techniques to surround this artist-made focal with a bezel of Japanese seed beads in aqua and green hues. The pendant is then strung onto a hand-dyed, American-made silk ribbon of blue and teal shot with gold. A dainty edging of beads embellishes part of the ribbon, tying it to the beadwork.

The focal pendant of Moonlit Seductress measures approximately 2 1/2" by 1 1/2" (6.35cm by 3.81cm) and hangs from a 36" (.9 meter) long ribbon that can be tied in a bow at your desired length. For an additional $5, I can cut the ribbon to any shorter length and attach a Sterling clasp. Like all Erthe Fae Designs, Moonlit Seductress is one of a kind and was created with love in my smoke-free Arizona studio.

Moonlit Seductress was created for the Etsy BeadWeavers March challenge, "Temptation." Voting for this challenge will run from March 9th-15th. To view more tempting beadwork, either search EBWC. To vote, visit our blog at http://etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com/
