This piece has been floating around in my mind for several weeks until I finally decided how to do it.

It is surrounded by an assortment of Metalic gold and silver seed beads, silver lined rocailles and bugles and a few larger metalics as accents, the necklace is a random mix of all beads strung on medium softflex with a toggle clasp.

The Polymer cab is backed with ultra-suede to hide the holes made for the base row of stitching.

Masked Face Pendant Necklace

Creator/Artist Name:	Sally Levine

CONTEST Item #:	8
This pendant was created with one of Diane Briegleb's hand made faces. The face was used like a cabochon with bead embroidery, peyote stitch, fringing and lots of embellishment. The artistic coloring of the face suggested to me an ice and pearl look which I used throughout including the added mask. I completed the piece with a self beaded bail and a silver spiral beaded necklace. This would be a great piece to wear to the Masquerade Ball or any festive occasion.
