Dreaming a malachite necklace

A beading project that's been on my Make This Someday list forever. I've been collecting bits and pieces for years, ever since I found the cabs at a gem and mineral show and they followed me home.
The current design idea is to set each cab (there are five of them) in peyote, string them in an arc on a strand of tiger tail, for support (disguised by threading it with beads), then build outward and around, kind of freeform, incorporating any of the other bits that seem to fit.
If I ever actually make the thing, it should be stunning. That's a big IF, of course. *g*
