Honey Jade and Carnelian pendant-with a glimpse of the process...

I wanted to use multiple shapes of cabochons in a pendant that was out of my typical box. First, I drew outlines of the shapes on paper, then cut out the rough shape that seemed to work. I transferred the shape on to buckram, and glued down the cabs. As you can see, I had to continue refining the outline. I "colored" the background with orange and yellow sharpies and my coloring improved, but that is not pictured. Next up: the finished design.
