Forest Floor Challenge Focal by The Beading YoginiForest Floor Challenge Necklace V4 by The Beading YoginiAnother challenge piece here for the Inspired By Nature jewelry series by Heather Powers. This weeks theme is the Forest Floor. It’s been some time since I’ve been for a stroll in the forest, perhaps five years or more. So, it took me a while to remember, then I recalled that when I lived in New England, I was fascinated the first time that I saw fiddlehead ferns. This piece finally gave me an opportunity to take a stab at needle felting. The focal for this necklace is needle felted, embroidered and sewn on to a hammered copper frame. A small wire coiled bail, some copper links and micro macrame cord with seed beads, a few of my tiny lampwork glass beads, finished off with some silk sari yarn by Design Talented One, and  a polymer clay toggle bead clasp that I made years ago. The necklace is lightweight and is adjustable in length.
