This necklace is made from two a white and a green jablonex seed bead mix using the Apache leaf stitch. I wanted the leaves in the necklace to stand out from each other and look like leaves in a garland, which is why I used alternately seed beads from the white and the green mix, and why each leaf is made from the same color of beads.

I think that it turned out pretty well, even though the sizes of the beads vary slightly between the different colors in the mixes so not all leaves are the same size. For the clasp, I used a small round magnetic lock which is fastened through the last seed bead on each end of the garland.
