Bohemian Tribal
About this design:
Old necklace I took apart. It was super long with a donut pendant and the tube beads and then smaller beads on either side on a leather cord. Then about 2 feet of empty leather cord. I made it in 1993. I even had a pair of cool drawstring cotten pants that perfectly matched long black/white beads.
Components:
Black wood beads. Black /white wood beads. Black seed beads. Gunmetal findings. Black suede cord. Griffen silk cord.Additional Images:

Julie Shane says:Oh no! Becky, you spelled his name wrong! We were chastised the other night for such bad behavior! It’s MacGyver!

Julie Shane says:Deb, Very nice. I like the suede cord inthe back and the little dangles add whimsy. It only take a couple special beads to make the whole necklace interesting.
