Cool, I love beaded beads. This one is beautiful and I really like those seed beads, great colors.

Oh wow Jerri! These are both gorgeous! And I just LOVE the colors you used!!!
Cool stuff.
I'd probably use peyote to tighten the end covering on the beaded bead, doing a decrease, or using a smaller bead size, or simply drawing the beads together instead of adding a bead for the next row. Like the circular peyote Bad Liz mentioned. Or, when I have lampwork too big for a bead cap, I'll use a large (eg, 13mm) flat disk and place a bead cap over that.
The netted necklace is lovely, but I see what you mean about it not looking like netting. I've seen that same thing apply with netted coin purse/amulets. I'm afraid it's just the nature of the weave. You won't see the netting unless the design lays down spread, instead of draping.
