Peyote

Iside (Isis in Italian) Pendant is inspired by the headdress found on any of the frescoes and statuary from antiquity. There was a temple dedicated to Isis in the city of Pompeii and a famous fresco that depicts worship of the goddess in that city. Components are made with peyote stitch combined with right angle weave using cylinder beads and size 15 seed beads. Freshwater pearls are then bezeled with peyote and components are combined to form the pendant. Note: The pendant in the photo is shown on a chain made with Viking Knit. This technique will not be covered in the workshop however; the instructions will include a seed bead chain for the pendant.
