Luna Moth Challenge

Image
Over on the Allegory Gallery Facebook page there is a challenge (or several) going on. One of them is the Luna Moth Challenge . We were required to purchase the kit from the Allegory Gallery website and then had quite a few weeks to create something with those beads. We had the option of adding from our own stash or not. I chose to NOT add in other bits this time. I decided I wanted the one -holed focal LUNA MOTH pendant to be a non- pendant so I added another hole opposite the first one, thank goodness for my Dremel Micro. It's become a real workhorse in my studio. I have not used waxed linen before in my jewellery making, (only for handmade book bindings.) It was an interesting material to work with. It is self needling cause it's sticky and does fit through quite a few bead holes, even the small e-beads we were given as part of the kit. It does create a less flexible finished piece than is usual with other fibres, but it holds KNOTS really well. Bonus!!! This being
