Finished: The Dryad Is In
The Dryad Is In: Olive jade serpentine pendant. Green and brown mix seed beads on French wire. Green Toho triangles, freshwater pearls and dyed green shell beads on jewelry wire. Brass cones and a gold-plate hook and eye clasp.
Man, this looks almost nothing like my original thought, but I'm really happy with it. It was a pain, mostly in figuring out the best way to get the various strands to twist and retain the twist. I ended up restringing the shell beads on thicker jewelry wire so they didn't spin quite so easily, and that helped a lot.
