Making The Beaded Mushroom Necklace
This necklace is a combination of metal work, as I first made the frame, and bead work.
I first start with a sketch (not pictured), then I cut and shape the wire, and is ready to be soldered.
Once everything is soldered, we can pickle it to begin the cleaning process. You can see the sketch I mentioned earlier.
Once cleaned, I hammered the frame to give it a nice rustic texture.
I start the beading process in small areas.
Then filled in the large area.
All done! Now is ready for the chain.
Since this is a statement pendant, I chose a 23-inch continuous chain. No clasps to worry about!
Here you can see how it looks wearing it.
In this case, the chain is gold plated stainless steel.
