Almost There

Of course I didn't get as much done as expected. Nonetheless, the focal is done.
Cinnamon and Honey focal with embellishments

The branched fringe was a good fit for the stone and the embellishments but it was very time consuming. 

Here is a closeup of the embellishments:

These small florals have a 4 row tubular peyote base and the points of the floral are layered. 

I still need to finish the final Empress Bead and put all the pieces together.  It is at that time I expect to discover I do not have the right clasp.  That is how these projects get away from me.  I have to admit, however, that I do like the results when I am done.

Stay tuned, next week I hope to have it finished.

Have a safe and happy holiday for those in the U.S.

    This is beautiful. I love the way you positioned the embellishments so as to highlight and not obscure your gorgeous stone.
