Silk Cocoons + Silk Rods = Necklace

What do you do with silk cocoons, silk rods, thread, beads?
I've always collected beads--more components filled with various sizes, colors and styles

And there are the various accruements one needs to work with beads 

And then I found these silk rods that were hidden away in the closet

Here are many dyed silk cocoons--let's get creative!!

to build a necklace!

The white cocoon is the only one that is 'complete' while the others are open ended--what fun to make this creation!



And now I have a lovely silk cocoon/rod necklace!
