I found another necklace that I made many years ago, and was thrilled to see how well it went with the Spring/Summer palette from Pantone. What *really* thrills me about it, though, is that these are colors I already like and have in my wardrobe! After several seasons of being kind of disappointed except by maybe one or two colors, I'm a very happy girl.
The tutorial is in two parts. The first part shows you how to make the lampwork glass rings that are actually torched using the key as a mandrel. If you don't do lampwork, you could use metal rings instead, easily available online. I'm sure you can find some that will fit over the teeth of your key, whether it's real or a reproduction key. The wiring will keep it from slipping off even if it's a bit too big!
