Carnelian Queen Bee Necklace

this fun little bee was stamped then etched onto a copper oval. 
then oxidized with liver of sulfur
I then added some color with alcohol inks and colored her wings silvery finish 
then sealed the finished piece to protect the color 
I hand linked Carnelian and orange agates to make a gorgeous accent chain
