Piranha
About this design:
So this is my dark side. :) First I got the fangs and was going to do a "collar" necklace. Then I found the fish skeletons at a local bead store, and the rest is history.
Components:
Carnelian fangs and rice beads, pewter fish bones and beads, 1mm black leather cord, silver plate chain and toggle. I think I got the rice Carnelian from LB.Additional Images:
