Well, here's my first photo journal of my beadwork jewelry-making process. The pendant was a 3-D project, so some of the steps have multiple photos in order to show as many details as possible. I seem to have missed photographing a step between #15 and #16 without meaning to, and I apologize for that.
This isn't a how-to guide, but I *think*, for the most part, the photos accurately portray how I made the pendant.
Total Time: 5 hours and 45 minutes
While Watching: Futurama, Mythbusters
