Sunshine for your neck! This is a serious piece of jewelry with a serious amount of fun, ready to take you from your work day to that special dinner party.
I created this piece by taking a beautiful wheel-thrown, glass-fused clay donut created by Etsy's own Kristie Roeder of http://artisanclay.etsy.com. I wove a lemon yellow and cream, open-backed bezel for it using right-angle-weave and peyote. The pendant (including bail) is 2.4" wide and 2.75" long.
The right-angle-weave bail(using lemon yellow and orange beads, for a real "pop"), which is 1.75" long, will accommodate several types of ropes or chains or cords, including the beautiful twisted ndebele (herringbone)rope I created for it. The rope is 17.5" long when closed and has a simple sterling silver double hook closure.
I used size 11 Japanese delicas as well as tiny Japanese rocailles in creating this piece. The beadwoven rope was created using the yellow delicas and cream seed beads.
Here's artisanclay's description of how she creates her glass-fused pieces: "The Piece itself has been fused with Stained Glass during the Kiln-firing process. I have combined many kinds of glass (clear, opaque, milky, and different colors) The Glasses become liquid and bleed into each other in the kiln swirling ands blending at the edges. Finally as I cool the kiln the glass fractures and crackles but with a smooth glass top. The crackling refracts light and glistens in the sun."
