I think I have spoken about the Bead Mavens Ice Queen Challenge enough over the past few weeks so without further ado here is my entry.

This is the first collar piece I have ever made and it was designed and created specifically for this challenge.
The piece features a gorgeous Czech glass button as the main focal, Swarovski crystal bicones and rondelles, Czech glass beads, freshwater pearls, bugle beads and lots of seed beads!
The necklace consists of silver links and velvet ribbon and the piece is backed with leather.
I wanted the piece to have a definite icy feel so I have used lots of transparent beads as well as Swarovski crystal and Czech glass.
The silver galvanised beads were used to depict the cold, icy feel an Ice Queen would experience living in the snow.
The Czech glass button is reminiscent of a snowflake and the freshwater pearls represent snowballs.
Wish me luck!
