Hello Dolly - A Beadwoven Raku Pendant with Necklace (2399) EtsyFreeShipping

Description

This piece is not meant for wall flowers. You will not be able to hide in the corners or shadows when you wear this: it will instantly make you the center of attention!

It all started out with a gorgeous raku button by Etsy's very own http://MAKUstudio.etsy.com My photography sadly does not do this bead justice.

I used bead embroidery and peyote beadweaving to create a bezel with a handsome blue leather backing. The bail is one of my "trademark" inverted triangle bails (which is actually a folded over wonky square, but we won't go into that ;o). The entire pendant is 2.5" wide and just short of 3" long. A friend pointed out that the ruffles around the button and the bail echo the "rough" surface of the raku, a happy creative accident.

I used Japanese delica beads in silver lined zircon blue and tiny copper rocailles for the pendant. The beadwoven rope was created with the same delicas and with triangular copper beads, woven together using a twisted ndebele (herringbone) stitch. The rope is 16" long and finished with a peyote tube toggle and an oval peyote "circle." Unlike with most of my designs, I do not recommend trying to remove the pendant from the rope; damage to the bail could result.
