  • 9 feet of 28ga round wire (soft)

    Variations: Change the outer shape of the border

    All these pendants were created using exactly the same technique. The difference? Changing the outer shape of the border around net bezel by using different shaped beads (or NOT!). The more you vary the size, color and shape of the beads, the more organic the effect.
