Goddess Pendant Necklace

Goddess Pendant NecklaceThe creator of this piece says: This 21" necklace is made using 16ga copper wire, some really nice matte glass beads, and some African trade beads from Ghana. The 4" bone goddess hangs between two fluted brass beads. I like this necklace for it's "earthy" feel.

The African trade beads were acquired at a flea market where I came upon a bead vendor who had a few hanks of these and I just had to have a strand. I didn't know what to do with them right away but a few weeks down the road I was in a local bead shop owned by a friend of mine when I saw her new bone goddesses in her display case. WELL! I knew what to do with some of those African beads as soon as I saw the goddesses.

About the Artist: Kay Bell

I have made some of my own jewelry off and on for most of my life, starting in my teens in the 60's with "natural" materials. In the last couple of years, now that I have the time, I have become a full fledged bead-a-holic. I like combining beads with wire work, which I have been learning these past several months. However I don't confine myself to one style and nothing ever turns out like the original idea I had.
