Necklace Project Day 9

I really don't think that this picture does this necklace justice but it is the best I could get. I love Dichroic glass beads and pendents, which are artisan beads made by putting metal in melting glass (I think). And I especially like the pieces I have bought from a lady up in Worland. She says that she likes to experiment and that she just throws things together and sees what happens. With this pendant she used iridescent wrapping paper in the glass. The paper burnt away leaving the iridescent material behind. So there is something of a butterfly shape in the pendant. I have two or three more pieces from her and I haven't found any other artist that makes Dichroic beads that I like as much.
