Birthing necklace in progress

I asked women friends and family from near and afar to post me a bead so that I could craft a necklace to wear while birthing. 

My intention is to wear the necklace during labour so that I can feel the energy and spirit of my circle of women at this time.

 I decided to knit it on wire in two strands (I have so many beads and medallions!).  It's started.
