Um, so, what am I working on?
A cherry necklace.
It's being put together with cherry head pins, dozens of off-mandrel leaves and 'tree bark' glass links. The bark beads were made on mandrels that are used to make Pandora sized beads.
Below is a working sketch. As you can see, I ended up doubling up the leaves to give it a fuller look.
That makes six leaves on every link. Hello? That's a lot of leaves. I am sick to death of making them.
Here's the first headpin hammered into a link, with a little extra pounding for texture.
Viola! The first link with all the bits in place.
I think it's going to be lovely.
