anne_dHere's the necklace and earrings I did last week.
I've had the beads for this for so long* that I can't remember what inspired the project; I assume I saw something somewhere and thought "I like that, I could do that, but what if I changed the colors?" Also, I vaguely remember the centerpiece being glued together, I think.
Anyway, once I finally got the beads out, I played around for a while before it all fell into place. I had considered wire-wrapping the goddess† to the donut. Then I thought of running beads through the goddess and the donut hole and had to figure out how to make it work. Needless to say there was a large pile of supplies to put away when I finished.
Materials: Tigereye and blue goldstone beads, tigereye goddess, blue goldstone donut, gold-plated beads and findings, beading wire.
The necklace and earrings

*So long, in fact, that I moved out of my goddess-worship phase. But I still appreciate goddess imagery and I'll still wear it, assuming I can find an excuse.
†I actually have two of the tigereye goddess pendants, one drilled vertically and the other horizontally, which is the one I ended up using
