Materials

Pentagon pendant, Copper Splash piece, E6000 glue, Large round ceramic beads, 2 mm brown leather, Dark red craft wire, Toggle Clasp

What was your inspiration?

The combination of the pendant and ceramic beads were the inspiration. It is a birthday gift for my Mother-in-law.

What are you most proud of?

I like the spiral bail made out of dark red craft wire, and how the bead stops made of the craft wire worked out.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I love using colored craft wire to make bead stops - you can either leave movement between the beads, or create a bead stop below and above the bead to limit movement.

Thank you, you are so kind! I wish I had another of the 5-sided beads to make one of these for myself, but they are no longer available.

I've been curious about the craft wire, I've never used it. I really like the way you used it here & I think you've just inspired me to try it. I also really like the ceramic beads...unusal. The peice is nicely coordinated.

You just have to be careful with your tools, if it is a less expensive version, it scratches easily and the color comes off.
