"Dance With Merlot" - Created by Rowena from recycled Merlot wine bottle glass and off loom bead weaving. 
Beaded jewelry using wine bottle glass is one of my favorite methods of making one-of-a-kind art to wear.
The pendent was created from the neck of the Merlot bottle. By the way, this was a wonderful bottle of wine.
Hanging from inside the bottle neck is several fresh water pearls. Off loom bead weaving hugs the beads.
Note the 2 vintage handcut German green glass beads.
Many of my pieces can be worn reversed. Here you see the front one left and the back on the right.
Merlot recycled glass adorns this off-loom-bead-weaving cuff.
A small Merlot bead is set into a bezel and 2 fresh water beads are added hugging the Merlot pendant.
The closure is 2 antique Celluloid Buttons. Collectors of Bakelite enjoy the history of the first plastic in 1909. Celluloid, a man made material made from synthetic and organic compounds was know to be around as early as 1868. The buttons and jewelry were very popular in the 1920's to the 1940's.
