Shanghai Pendant

Sherry Serafini

Sunday, August 1st

All Levels

 


 


Students will create a symmetrical pendant using bead embroidery as a focus. The large Swarovski triangle will be created as a separate component using 10/0 and 11/0 cylinder beads and then attached to a main piece of bead reinforcement, giving the stone dimension. Embellishment with bead embroidery will follow to create an unusual and highly textured pendant with Swarovski drops as the grand finale.
