I hope no one is freaked out by snakes! I chose to make a snake the subject of this pendant because the bezel pattern reminded me of snake skin. It is done in acrylic paint and sealed with resin. The beads are wood which I have painted by hand and a spray on sealer has been applied to give them a glossy finish. It is strung on black leather cord. Total length of the pendant is 1.5 inches. The painting is 1 x 1 inch. Thanks for looking! Dawn

Although snakes DO freak me out (although I have made snake jewelry myself) and in the summertime, I have to check my workshop very well before I do anything, I find that this is a beautiful bold impressive necklace!

Very interesting and bold, Dawn. I love your snake painting and the bezel and bail suit it perfectly.
I'm not freaked out by snakes, although I would be if I had to check my workshop for them! It's bad enough to look for spiders on the ceiling.

I agree! I DO NOT LIKE SNAKES - but you did a wonderful job with this pendant and love how it all just works so well together! Somebody, who loves snakes will surely cherish it! And if I had to check my work shop for them I would move. Today. No, make that yesterday!

Thank you so much, Irith, Gayle and Karin! I'm not crazy about snakes either, but the bezel was demanding a snake! Karin, I know you are right about people who love snakes; I hope you are also right that a snake loving person will love it! Dawn

As long as the snakes are in a photograph, on TV or in a terrarium I don't mind them. But I do love that pendant, a very interesting design.

I wouldn't want to own a snake because I'd have a problem feeding them, but I also don't want to have a dog or giraffe of my own. I love snakes. I think they are gorgeous and fascinating (just as spiders, by the way).
This one is beautiful, too. I can see how the bezel inspired you, Dawn. It's a necklace I would definitely wear.

Thank you, Carina and Cat! We seem to be pretty much in agreement that we like snakes from a distance. Cat, you're right that they are fascinating creatures; it's really too bad people tend to be frightened of them. Of course, it doesn't help that so many are poisonous, but on the other hand they certainly do contribute to keeping the rodent population under control. Dawn

Sadly, I am indeed freaked out by snakes, but I am not afraid of this one, which actually looks like a very friendly specimen indeed.

Thank you, Carole! Glad you see him as friendly. Cat, what a hoot! Wouldn't a hammock like that one be cool? Dawn

He looks like a harmless little garden snake. They are not poisonous and don't bother you.
Dawn, the bezel is perfect for this beautifully painted little fella.
