Sunflower Zwirnknopf Pendant

Modified pattern.  I used instructions by Karen Smock.   

DMC perle 8 -- colors 743 (yellow), 922 (rust), 580 (green), 801 (brown).   Added extra rust color -- she taught this class with a kit (tho I just the pattern from her.)    2 1/2" wooden ring.  Gold cord 1/8" (nylon) from the craft store.

 This is a photograph of Karen Smock's class/kit.   "Sunflower Zwirnknopf Pendant + Earrings".

 Adding the red next.

I started with 1 1/8" plastic ring - which was challenging.

Changed to regular 1 1/8" ring - which was easier (for me).
