Playful Pinwheel Necklace Tutorial

Teal Enameled Brass Pinwheel Medallion on Silk Ribbon
Skill LevelIntermediate
TechniqueBead Embroidery
Time4-6 Hours
Approximate Size30 Inches
The domed link at the center of this embroidered pendant has open spaces. It adds an extra level of depth to the design and lets the backing peek through.

A lovely enameled component from Gardanne Beads pairs wonderfully with colorful seed beads and silk ribbon in a bead embroidered focal that's sure to catch the eye. The fun part about this piece is that the cut-out design allows your chosen bead backing to shine through, adding to the overall design Meg Mullen designed this necklace for the February 2016 issue of Bead and Button Magazine. See other ideas for using Gardanne Beads items in your designs in this Artbeads Cafe episode.
