I'm not sure what to call this necklace. Is the focal bead some kind of strange sea monster? Or perhaps an alien artifact? Or even an alien insect. I finished it up last night and I am pretty happy with how it came out. I wanted to try and pick up the cool spirals in the main body that you can really only see in strong daylight, and I think I have done that with the spiral bead rope mimicking the spiral design. I went for the teal and the yellow and left out the white. For a clasp I used a vintage button that I bought at Bead & Button. One year there were two very nice young ladies in the booth next to ours selling vintage buttons as well as reproductions of vintage buttons.
