Here is the pendant that I made this weekend. I need to make the necklace still that it goes on. The tiger eye beads in the fringe are faceted and they really sparkle in the light. Dot

Beautiful! Perfectly matched! My only concern is, when it's gonna sit vertically, the beads will not stay so nicely arranged.

Very nice necklace and stones. Yes, the tiger eye beads set off the piece just right. My wife does the same type of beading on cab's I make and she is Native American. Do you have Beading With Cab's in your collection?

Thanks Diane. I get ideas from books, magazines and the stones themselves. Thanks Adrian. The fringe never stays as pretty when it's worn I do have that book 49er and love it. I have learned alot of different techniques from reading it. Dot

Wow I can see why your eyes are paying for it, that's a lot of work! What do you have on the fringes, above the clear bead, is that some kind of a longer tube bead with the twisted look? Those look like they would really sparkle.

Thanks Cher. Those long beads are twisted bugle beads and yes they do have a lot of sparkle.
