Raven pendant cord making

Just a short entry today.

I started another project last night.

I have a silver pendant of three ravens in relief interlinked with the ravens
grabbing the raven in front's foot with their beaks. The wing of each raven is
filled with a different type of celtic knot (square, spiral-ish, and knotwork).
You can see a picture of it on this page here:

It came with a black cotton cord, but I wanted to make something different.

Which has only taken 18 months for me to decide what it will be.

I've started an 14 strand fillgap cord (14/4 weaving pattern) with 7 strands of
black cotton floss, 4 strands of silk (dark green, dark purple, navy blue and
deep royal blue), a strand of deep green flower thread, a stand of deep lilac
cotton floss and a strand of petrol blue size 3 cotton thread.

As soon as I've got any length on it, I'll post a picture.

Bye for now.
