Black Panther Necklace

 

Finally!!!! I thought this piece would never be finished!!!!!!! I started working on this at the beginning of August, and although the actual centre piece was finished about two weeks ago, I couldn't decide what necklace to make for it.... originally it was going to have a band brick stitched in black matte cubes, and after I almost finished bead weaving half of it, I decided that it wasn't quite right... so I started bead embroidering smaller oval pieces around the labradorite cabochon that matched the centrepiece.  I made 8 altogether and after a week of playing around with them, I remembered that I had these gorgeous matt black onyx coin beads, which I bought because I loved them, not because I had any idea what I was going to make with them, so I started playing around with different combinations of the onyx coins and the bead embroidered cabochons until I finally go to a combination I was happy with, and here it is:  Black Panther Necklace

Due to my indecision :-) I ended up with three extra bead embroidered cabochons, therefore expect a pair of earrings in the near future and maybe (still not sure) a bracelet... so come back soon :-)
