Striking Pendant With a Primitive Botanical Flair
 \This year, spring and summer clothes are all about graphic and floral prints with a lot of color. Why not create your own dramatic pendant to accent these fun outfits! It’s easy to do when you start with basics like black and white and then just add one or two accent colors. For this project, this striking pendant with a botanical flair is created with a mosaic of pattern, color, and a touch of a metallic accent.
