Here it is - project #5: "Wrapped Beads Necklace" from Deryn Mentocks Summer Jewelry Challenge. For the base of the pendant, I used an old leafy copper brooch I found while "junking" in a thrift store a couple of years ago. I took off the pin backing, and flattened and heat-treated it and then formed it into the pod shape. I added natural looking red, yellow, turquoise, silver and copper beads for color, and wrapped it all up with copper wire.
