Grape Cluster Pendant

"This cluster of grapes started out as clear glass beads. Then, these beads were etched with etchall dip 'n etch for 15 minutes. This gave the beads a soft opaque surface with a tooth that makes them easy to paint. I painted them with some Colorique ink in Grape Vine for the perfect grape color. I created bead dangles using the headpins. I attached the headpins to a chain piece to create the grape cluster. A couple of leaves were attached at the top of the cluster with jump rings, and the pendant was strung on a ribbon to wear."
