Stapelia - starfish flower

A starfish flower - it was my first thought after I have finished the pendant. A flower that exists for real, actually, although it looks a bit different in reality. It is famous, or maybe rather infamous of having an extremely awful odour of rotten flesh. Sure, the real stapelia looks better than my pendant, but at least my starfish flower doesn't smell bad at all. ;)

The pendant measures 4cm (1,57") in diameter and it is made with 4mm and 6mm glass pearls, 3mm magatamas and seed beads size 11 and 8. It is double sided, as most of my pieces.

Stapelia was finished some time ago, when the temperature was still bearable (it's way too hot now and my boiling brain refuses to think up any new patterns;) ). It took a while to write a tutorial though, but now it is ready too. It is available here on Etsy and Craftsy.

Also, I would like to thank you for all the comments - I haven't got much time to respond to them, but I'm always happy when you leave a note. :)
Have a wonderful time!

    Gdy zobaczyłam na miniaturce ten pierwszy naszyjnik, od razu skojarzył mi się z kawiorem:) wygląda jak super zaserwowany kawior, który bardzo lubię.
