Ok, am I first?

Here's what Becki sent me to work with:

http://www.beadbimbo.com/ebay/challange1asm.jpg

My DD and I both looked and said, "What's wrong with these?"

At first, I was going to use a different pendant, but then didn't like the
way that one was going, so then I decided to bead the big stone bead.
Again, I tried something that wasn't working, so I had to do it over and
finally settled on a netting around the stone.

I loved the Tiger's Eye beads that were in the necklace, so I decided to
add
more of those to embellish the stone.

Here's my finished piece:

and a close up of the pendant:

I'm a little anal retentive about things matching and such, so I was
trying
to stretch a little by not making the pendant symmetrical and by NOT
matching up the beads in the necklace. I'm really happy with it.

I had a lot of fun with this project! Thanks so much , Becki, for making
a
fun little challange for us! I look forward to seeing what everyone else
has done!

Woweee!!! That's amazing to take two pieces like that and make
something 20 times more prettier! All it takes is the right person :-D

Best,
Christine

You are all making this very, very fun. Thanks so much for this!!!!!

Becki

Jerri -- That's incredibly gorgeous! WOW!! KLUNK!!

And you're right, there was nothing wrong with Becki's necklaces (but
she gets picky with herself). They were beautiful too!

And you got one! :-)
