Blue Sea Glass and Pewter Treasure Necklace

Glass seed beads are too often delegated to bead weaving. While weaving with seed beads is a wonderful art form, there are lots of other possibilities for designing jewelry using tiny seed beads. In this Blue Sea Glass and Pewter Treasure Necklace project, I use a mix of seed beads and other glass beads and accent them with a literal "wave" of seed beads interspersed down the necklace straps. The focal point is a pewter pendant that looks like an old piece of silver either discovered in a ship wreck or dug up as a piece of buried treasure.
