dictum centesimum tricesimum secundum (132nd post) Argh

Ever think you have the perfect idea?  You're so sure it's the best ever.  Then you try it and fizz....
I have a dress with a ridiculously plunging neckline- out of character.  And while I like jewelry, my budget does not and besides I prefer simple to outrageous.  Hence the problem.  Dress with said neckline looks even more "plungy" with tiny jewelry.  So I thought I would tat a pendant.  There was no question in my mind which piece.  I have loved Frivole's Les P'tits Oiseaux since she made it available.  Interestingly, my dress is also Tardis blue (pure coincidence I swear- I bought mine last year) so I had the thread and even some interesting beads from Joann's.
Alas, the bead was just not the right size.  So I distattified and tried the smallest bead.  No again. So, snip, snip, in the bin.

Back to the drawing board.  I had seen on Frivole's blog her version of Marilee's beautiful necklace, Newcastle.  She made it without the outside round and liked it so I gave it a try.

motif #15 (at least the bead fits)

Wish that were my neck!  The color is something between the three you see.
