Face Necklace

Here is a necklace that I made using face beads that I have had for more years than I care to admit.  I had been trying to use these beads in something forever.  I would try to work them into anything that had silver in it.  Then, as I was, once again, trying to get these faces into another necklace that I am working on, I had an epiphany, I wanted them to be the focal point of a necklace using mixed media, and "Faces of Nature" was born using natural gemstones, wood and silver.  I hope you all like!

Beaded Bezeled Shell

Okay, here is the finished necklace to go with the finished bezeled shell.  The actual neckalce part is very simple beaded right angle weave with embelishment.  The necklace is long enough that it hangs right around mid-stomach on me.  I cant wait to wear this out somewhere good, unfortunately most of my clothes are black and most of my jewelry, just like this one, is brown neutrals.  Well, thats okay, I will think of something, let me know what you all think!
