A pendant...not Wheely earrings

I bought this tutorial, Wheel Earrings, recently from Ellad2 

I had every intention to make both earrings... until I started stitching!

This is one very time consuming pattern consisting of Right Angle Weave (RAW) with a little peyote at the end. The earring is solid but is built up with beads not a ring inside.

I think this one "earring" took me close to 3 hours to make so definitely not a quick piece.

I had to laugh, as at the end of the pattern Ella writes, 

"maybe after all  what you have done till now, you will wish to wear only one".... 

I wish I had've read that line first!!!

I decided I didn't really want to spend another 3 hours making another earring, and in addition to the time, I found this was a little too chunky for my liking. 

So a pendant it has become and I LOVE it!

I already had this RAW necklace I had made a few years ago which I think compliments it perfectly.

I've attached a large enough ring so the pendant is interchangeable.

The pattern is relatively easy to follow with only one or two areas that had me a little confused but common sense prevailed and I continued on.

I really do love this design. I think the pendant would make a nice gift for someone and because it only uses size 15/0, 11/0 and 8/0 seed beads you will nearly always have beads on hand to make this as a last minute gift...well allow a few hours not a minute!!

I might just be tempted to make another one in a different colour!

RAW necklace

I created this pendant a while back. The gorgeous cabochon is chrysanthemum and I adorned the cab with size 11 and 15 seed beads, delicas, rice pearls, red tigers eye and Magatama beads.

I recently made the Right Angle Weave (RAW) necklace to hang the pendant on. This was the first RAW necklace I have made and I think it looks gorgeous with the pendant...

What do you think?
