How to create a beautiful necklace...
Begin with a donut pendant created by a fellow Etsian (RedCrowArts),
add a spiral rope created from lots and lots and lots of seed beads, include some tiny fringes in a contrasting color (following the suggestion of Carol Dean, aka SandFibers),
and voila!

I ordered a few pieces from Red Crow Arts, and I love them all. I have such an affinity for black and white, though, that there wasn't much doubt which of the pieces I'd use first. The finish on this donut is beautiful, with the crackled look accentuated by the glossy finish. It's very lightweight, too, so the person wearing this necklace won't feel weighed down at all.
Soon to be added to my Etsy shop...

MaryLou this is a beautiful necklace. I love B&W too and the red just sets it off so great - nice work.
This is gorgeous MaryLou! It looks like your vacation was very productive.
I have some glass cabs made by an Etsy artist that I haven't used. You and Carol Dean with your collaborations are inspiring me to get to work on them! :D
MaryLou, this is just wonderful! It has such strong graphic qualities that it's timeless :D Brava, my friend!

Wow beautiful! It is so nice to see how you used the pendant for your focal. The red is gorgeous with the black and white donut.

Red is the perfect accent color for the donut. It's a beautiful necklace.

This necklace is absolutely stunning! The design is perfect for that beautiful donut! Wonderful work.
It's beautiful and the contrasting accents add a wonderful counterbalance to the black and white! CD's always right, I've learned to listen to her! :)
