Jellyfish pendant?
k so im looking for a jellyfish pendant tut. so iv made jellyfish a couple days ago using some borosticks sky blue with forest green dots byt taking 6mm or 11mm? just like reg size clear boro rod like the size that colours come in and i take that and put 4-7 lines of colour with blue stringers then melt in abit but not fully then encase in clear then with a stringer i wrap around the clear at the top of the rod to have the effect of the tenticals comming out of the muchroom cap like thing. i then either ad another set of lines around the outside then encase again or just encase again. i find that just encasing looks better but i made these wit ha loop and there just round like something ud hang in a window about 1 inch big and my cousin and her dughter which is 3 or 4 have been given 2 of these by me and said theyd like to use these for necklaces well i dont think they will make a nice necklace because of no flat surface so any tutorials on a jelly fish pendant would be GREAT and colout combos would be amazing
sorry for spelling mistakes
and if any one wants i will make a video and writen and pictorial of how i do this, of course edited to proper english

Mary Lockwood has a great Jellyfish tutorial and you should be able to implement it into a pendant. Check out the tutorial section (for purchase)
It's a great tutorial!

Agreed!!!! I love it!
Here's a pic. of one of the beads I made using Mary's tutorial...I'm sure it can be adapted to pendants, too!

I've used the techniques in my tutorial for offhand work. They are actually slight adaptations of common offhand techniques to begin with, so they translate over very well.
Or, you could put them on a mandrel and make them as beads for your cousin and her daughter to use in their jewelry.
I'm sitting here at my desk with 5 brand new jellyfish focals all photographed and ready to upload to etsy- I really hate that part. LOL Just mentioning it because I'll have them done within an hour or so and you can take a look at what I have to help you decide if my tutorial would be something that could help you do what you're trying to do.
Best of luck!
~~Mary

There is a video on youtube showing someone making jellyfish with boro. That's what I've used as a reference. I love the seascapes I've seen on some of the soft glass beads on LE. My boro jellyfish are a work in progress but I flatten the back, add frit, make a loop and call it a pendant.
