Here’s a sneak peek at a design that didn’t make it into my upcoming book.
It is a large pendant. I actually love the pattern, but am not 100% happy with the movement of the piece. It tends to lie fairly flat when worn, but I would prefer a piece that is stiffer and less supple (ie, less prone to curling when the wearer leans forward). So it’s back to the drawing board for this one.
For those crafters who are curious, the piece uses size B20 sterling and niobium (latte blend and mermaid blend), and size G19 in sterling. Yes, you can feel free to reconstruct this piece for yourself. 
Here’s a head-on image for easy reference:
Thanks for the compliment, Jill. I have been REALLY into the turquoise/brown mix these days!
I can’t use smaller niobium rings…that part of the connection is just about as tight as it gets. And actually, I always weave Japanese 12-2 by putting large rings through small ones, rather than vice-versa. Otherwise, trying to close that 2nd niobium ring would be waaaaaay more frustration that it’s worth to me.
What would make it stiffer, actually, would be if the sterling rings were ever so slightly smaller. Like 4.25 mm instead of size G (11/64″ 4.4 mm). The F size (5/32″ 4.0mm) is TOO stiff, so something in between F and G would be perfect. But alas, getting into all the half- and quarter-millimeter size mandrels is a whole’ nother can o’ worms that I don’t want to get myself into. 😛
