Re-purposing




These frog beads were part of a jewellery set a friend had bought some time ago. The larger bead - pendant, really - hung from a simple rubber cord while the other two were earrings. My friend, who has loved all things frog-like since she was a teen, found the jewellery difficult to wear - she said the froggies seemed to be too big for their hooks and cord - but wanted to keep the lil critters. So she gave them to me with a plea to re-use them in a way that would make it easier for her to wear them. So this is what I made.
