Materials
one strand of mookaite jasper nuggets, one strand of carnelian nuggets, on strand 6mm wood fossil jasper nuggets, one reel of tiger tail jewellery wire, 6 silver plated crimp beads, one three-stranded silver plated clasp, a pair of flat-nosed pliers.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?
