Here's the result:
The necklace is currently too loose since I was being careful not to do anything that could restrict motion, but I'll be working on resizing it until I get something a bit better. I think it's light enough that it shouldn't cause much added stress onto the neck cables, but that is something to take into consideration. I might try making a bracelet next to avoid the cable concern. The necklace was made completely with gemstones, glass beads and ceramic beads.
It was a lot of fun picking out the beads and making the necklace! I'd love to make more in the future, but it would be pretty pricey to make bracelets or necklaces for my whole herd since I was already pretty surprised at the cost of making one (bracelets would cost me a lot less than necklaces though). I know mweed makes lovely Pleo jewelry already, but I might be willing to sell custom Pleo necklaces/bracelets too since they're a lot of fun to make! The shop near me has a huge selection of beads including metal charms, tons of gemstones, ceramic and glass ones. I'd have to work on pricing and figure out what size necklace/bracelet works best for Pleos first though, so I'm not sure about that option.
Anyway, this was a lot of fun to make and I hope people like it!
Edit:
Just realized this should have been posted in the Crafter's Corner section, I can't delete and repost it, so it's fine if a mod/admin would like to move it to the correct board.

Please PM me this form if you'd like to order one. You can leave any field blank, these are just guidelines to help me customize the bracelet for you as best as possible.
Code: [Select]
[b]Username:[/b]
[b]Pleo's name:[/b]
[b]Bracelet or necklace:[/b]
[b]Would you like the Pleo's name included:[/b] (Yes or no.)
[b]Desired color pallet:[/b]
[b]Favorite gemstone/s:[/b]
[b]Metal or glass charms:[/b] (Metal, glass, none, both or either.)
[b]Any specific charms:[/b]Note that if there's a specific shape of charm you'd like, it may not be available at the specific store I go to, so please understand if so. Some of the ones I know they have are stars, butterflies, cats, crosses, bells and leaves, so if you ask for any of those, they will be there. Others I will look for and may or may not find (though they do have a large selection). All bracelets will be on a wire thread and have a metal clasp. Finished necklaces will also be smaller than the one in the first post (similar number of beads, less thread) as that was a first prototype and I've made a couple others since.
(Also, not trying to steal any business from mweed's lovely Pleo jewelry shop! Feel free to check that one out as well if these aren't what you're looking for!)
