Something quite different


For a while I tried needle tatting. Nice to do, but I don't like fabric jewellery. Still, I love the winding motifs. This pendant, with a center stone of white and gray, is a bit way off my usual beaten track but it asked for ornate. So I had this small piece of filigree lying about, and it seemed to make a nice combo. On top of the filigree I added an aventurine bead. Next to the center stone 2 swarovski crystals (yes I do have some of those, even though I generally don't like working with them) and lots of seed beads in a floral/lacey motif. Backed with suede. It needs a bail. And it's very rrrromanticcc even though the colours speak of envy and gossip and all those other bad, bad fun things that come with it. Hope you like it - the odd one out.
