Something new

I have recently seen some amazing felt jewelry and I wanted to try to make it on my own.
I had this geode for some time now, it was a necklace but the clasp had broken off at one ending it was going to be a chore to fix it.
While swimming in the internet I came across some necklaces that were really nice. When I come across it again I will make sure to post the artist name.
I made the cord first then put the wool on the geode completely covering it.
I then took the ends of the cord that were not felted and laid them over the stone, on the sides.
This was tricky. It takes a lot of time and patience.
I fulled the piece and the ends of the cord. It is a labor of love.
After I rinsed it and let it dry.
Then comes the part where you cut out the hole exposing the stone. Very carefully.
Then rub again with hot water to create a smooth edge around the opening.
I added the glass beads for added support but you don't really need to. It is all one piece in the end.
I look forward to making another.
