Leftover chain is your friend!

First, a long necklace based around an old, I would almost say antique, pendant picked up at a thirftstore many many years ago. It sat in my misc parts bag for years now, as it was a bit ugly just by itself, but it had all that nice filigree and wirework, so I couldn't bear to part with it.

Using more chain from a broken necklace (also from my misc parts bag), and misc bottle green and bottle amber glass beads leftover from 2 other seperate projects. Here's what I ended up with:



I rather like it now. I think it has an Edwardian meets gypsy thing going for it.

And then, another mid sized necklace made around this lovely carved shell dove pendant.


Which I bought about a year ago and then brain farted as to what to do with it.

Some more spare chain, some leftover glass leaf beads (leftover from This piece), and some small ruby color beads wired onto a bit of chain to make a cluster of..grapes? Currants? Do doves eat either in nature? Well.....whatever.



The end result is pretty.....




And that's it!
