Sea Turtle Necklace - Finished

I finished up the Sea Turtle Necklace this afternoon.  I ended up using a button with a sand dollar design on it for the clasp.  It is a very simple technique.  Just attach the button with a loop of beads to hide the thread and on the other end make a loop of beads just large enough to fit over the button and embellish with a picot edge.

Sea Turtle

I picked up this sweet little lamp-work sea turtle last year at the Bead & Button show and it has been sitting in my bead stash waiting to be turned into a necklace.  I wanted something simple, so I picked some pretty colors and started a spiral stitch.  I was originally going to use the spiral strand with another lamp-work bead, but it seemed better suited for the turtle.  I still need to figure out the clasp.
