Beadwork in progress...

I'm at the stage in this piece where it gets a name.



All that's left is attaching the pendant really.



I haven't (quite) decided how exactly I want to do that. If I want to do a peyote stitch loop, or if I want to do simple strands of beads looping the double, twisted herringbone necklace. I taught myself , inadvertantly, spiral Herringbone stitch for this piece. I meant to do straight Herringbone. Heh.



Then I decided that one strand wouldn't be substantial enough for the pendant, so I did another, switching out one color of beads to give them a but of contrast with each other, and then twisted them together, peyote stitching the ends into place so it won't untwist. The clasp is a a simple tube of peyote stitch.



But first, I need a name.
