Moon and stars necklace

[weaverbird]

I'm new to working with wire - most of my stuff is beadweaving - and they say the only way to get competent is to practice, so I made this necklace as a practice piece for making wrapped loops.

I used 24 ga dead soft copper wire, and miscellaneous cobalt glass beads I've had around for years - three different batches, none of which were enough to make anything by themselves. And it did the trick - my wrapped-loop skills, which started off pretty shaky, are much better now! *g*

Those are beads you just happen to have lying around? Your stash must be awesome!

I really like the replication of the triangles and the contrast of the patterned and unpatterned ones. The metallic design goes nicely with the copper too.

After looking, I wasn't able to find other photos with the necklace hanging on a body, does it hang well? (I do like a lot of your other beading projects though.) Were there other things you'd do differently if you did it again?

I love that you made something beautiful to learn a new technique.
