| The dichroic glass cabs, aka fused glass, came to me from Kerry Collett. She asked that I might collaborate with her, to which I naturally said, yes! I sat and pondered the cabs for many days before deciding what to do with this set. I wanted to do something that would truly show their beautiful colors and the shape of them put together. I dumped every bead I had that matched on my table, and that was quite a few tubes and containers! I like texture, so there are lots of pearls, Czech glass and Swarovski crystals woven into the fringe! I wanted the fringe to be plush, so the 'branches' are VERY close together, every 2 seed beads, up the main branch! The 'beaded beads' aren't actually beaded beads, but Tubular RAW woven with different size beads, then slightly embellished. The rest of the rope is done in RAW as well with an embellished toggle/loop closure. The Pendant itself is 2 1/2" in width and from top of pendant to bottom of fringe is 5". The length of this piece is 22 1/2".
