Vintage beads from a broken necklace! Even though the finish on these plastic beads was worn, they were irrestistible. They had organic shapes, but an electric color! I played with some color combinations and decided that less was way more!
First, I made a focal pendant by wire-wrapping one of the "crumpled" beads. Next, I used a more substantial wire than I have previously to crochet new aqua seed beads together with glass bicones and faceted plastic beads that were rescued from a stuffy black vintage necklace.
Note to self: Plastic crochet hooks do not stand up well to the lower gauge wire. Invest in an aluminum one.
