~The making of part 4~
The first item I started making and the last I finished was the necklace. Screen shots were very hard to tell and what I saw on the screen was a plump necklace full of shimmering large beads. I latter found a picture that would show the necklace better, and I am saddened at the inaccuracies, however, I still love the one I made.

The toning on the film, and filters used during filming changed the coloration of a few of the pieces, this was true especially for any beads. The "official version" seems to have neon yellow beads; however, I decided to give it a screen accurate feel and used golden tones instead.

I started with a heavy sized gold chain from Michael's craft store. The beads I found at a great store in the LA fabric district. I attached each bead by hand until it was plump like grapes on a vine. I used 3 different beads, 2 of golden color with 2 sizes and 1 clear bead of the smaller size.

Once I found a more accurate reference I spotted some pearl beading on the necklace, and so I added two strings of pearls to the piece, one on each side.
