My October Entry of ABS

Resin Pendant made by me using Ice Resin and the beautiful Owl print from the picture of inspiration.  Bezel is from Susan Lenart Kazmer collection.  Artisan Lampwork Beads are made by https://www.etsy.com/shop/moderntrails

 

I used Freshwater Pearls in a soft Olive green.  Sterling Silver Bead Caps.  Necklace is wire wrapped with non-tarnish silver plated wire.  Fancy Antique Silver Lobster Clasp is used as the closure.

 

Love this Owl!
