This months challenge from
Artbeads is about combining something old with something new and to make it into a new jewelry design. I wanted to pick out my old piece first so on a trip to Washington DC, I stumbled upon a bead store and bought an old Ethiopian Cross Pendant. My inspiration board was covered with tribal fashion that week cause this particular cross looked like it belong to a queen of a tribe. I have researched tribal jewelry on the Internet and then I choose a mix of Red Magma and, Topaz and Caribbean Blue
Swarovski crystal, Czech fire polished
beads in an orange color I had some wood from Brazil on hand which I wanted to be in the center of the necklace around the cross pendant.
I wanted to say thank you to Duchess and Artbeads for this wonderfull opportunity.
