Remake - Plastic Coins and Wire Beads

This piece is a remake from a stringed necklace. The rounded rather dull colored beads are plastic. I added a wire wrap bead to give it a bit of shine. And this is all I did today. Hopefully later tonight I can work on my 4th tutorial. Plastic Coins and Wire Beads Plastic Coins and Wire Beads
