I made this beige cabochon a couple of months ago and originally beaded it with brown and gold seed beads but wasn't happy with the way it turned out. It sat around for a while until on the spur of the moment I decided to pull off all the other beads and re-bead as in the picture.

I was messing around with some silver wire tonight and came up with a variant of the fibula type of pin.

The large central bead has copper mesh enclosed in it to form the bunch of grapes type motif. It does work as I've tried it in my blouse with the pin hanging vertically.
