Collaboration with Lorelei!

I have been wanting to do a collaboration for awhile, so I approached Lorelei Eurto to see if she would be interested. She happily said yes and so it began...

I wanted to make something special that she would want to wear because of it's uniqueness and the thought put into it. I wanted to create something special that no one else would have thought of, something that might even just stand out in a crowd!

 I chose Lori's favorite subject, Owls! I handmade the pendant using one of the nicest Owl images I had. A proud and regal animal with the patience of a saint. :)
I decided not to drill the pendant, but to wrap it in filigree. I added a handwoven nest with pearl eggs, and attached it directly to the filigree.

 I strung everything together on beading wire adding Farfalle beads {peanut} and doubling it up to make a loop, I added some Rhyolite and a ceramic bead by Macarroll and finished it off with a loop for the clasp, hoping that Lori would something really fun at the other end! 

 Now we wait to see how this will all end...
Hope you leave a note and tell us what you think so far...

This is what I got from Lorelei and I think I am just about done adding to it... maybe...
