Late Bead Soup Creation

Here is my creation from Lori Anderson’s Bead Soup Blog Hop.  I had broken my finger and was not able to make this piece by the deadline for the blog hop.  So better late than never, here is the stunning large focal bead that I received from Pam Brisse.  Take a peek at Pam's Etsy store for more pretty flocal beads.

This is a larger bead then I usually work with, but that was the challenge of the party, to work outside of our usual style.  A friend of mind saw the bead and fell in love with it, so I made this for her.  She requested copper.  I decided to frame the bead in knitted wire and I added some tiny gemstones for sparkle. The pendant is hanging on a viking knit necklace that finishes the look.
