Becki's Necklace Challange Results! (Comments, please!)

Ok, am I first?

Here's what Becki sent me to work with:

My DD and I both looked and said, "What's wrong with these?" At first, I was going to use a different pendant, but then didn't like the way that one was going, so then I decided to bead the big stone bead. Again, I tried something that wasn't working, so I had to do it over and finally settled on a netting around the stone.

I loved the Tiger's Eye beads that were in the necklace, so I decided to add more of those to embellish the stone.

Here's my finished piece:

I'm a little anal retentive about things matching and such, so I was trying to stretch a little by not making the pendant symmetrical and by NOT matching up the beads in the necklace. I'm really happy with it. I had a lot of fun with this project! Thanks so much , Becki, for making a fun little challange for us! I look forward to seeing what everyone else has done!

I really got into this project! Lol. Actually, I guess it was my 3rd try because I didn't like the first two things I was doing.

Thanks, Kathy! I'm sooooooooooo bad at asymmetry that I'm really pleased with this one! (Stepping out of my comfort zone.)

WOW!!!! Oh, that's so .... WOW!!! Just WOW! I'm speechless. It's beautiful!

I love the asymmetrical wrap around the pendant, and the tiger beads are gorgeous. What a great stretch.

I'm still working on my necklace, but I may not post pictures of it now ... just kidding. Just working with brown / amber / gold tones is a stretch for me.

Good job Jerri!!! (Where's Sooz? we need a KLUNK).
