Two weeks since my last jewelry post. I did admit in an award post that I love politics so I enjoyed the political season and am glad it is now over.
Here is what I have created for the Cinnamon and Honey necklace so far.

Cinnamon and honey - all the pieces so far |
I have to create another Empress bead, but that will work up fast.
When last I gave an update I mentioned embellishing the bezeled stone. Here are the pieces for the embellishment.

Embellishments of cinnamon and honey |
As you can see, I worked up quite a few embellishments all of which are fine on their own.
 |
A handful of honey and cinnamon embellishments |
The top embellishment has small round garnets at the center. I really like this pattern, however, once placed on the stone the embellishment was just too large.
 |
Failed embellishment |
The original embellishment has a great shape but was just a bit over-sized; the next trial was with all seed beads using nearly the same pattern.
 |
Close but... |
As you can see from above, the embellishment is just a tad to big for the stone.
Never say never; the next embellishment worked. This is a pattern with a tubular peyote base that I have used before. As Goldilocks would say, it is just right.
 |
Cinnamon and honey that is just right |
Three of these embellishments have been sewn onto the bezeled stone. Now I need to figure out the fringe. Expect more progress next week.
