Wet Easter Sunday
Well the weather may have been abysmal yesterday but at least it was a good excuse to light the fire and sit in the warm to finish off a necklace which I'd started. This is another one from Marcia DeCoster and the pendant section is worked in right-angle weave using seed beads, with 3mm pearls and fire-polished beads (these topaz fire-polished beads probably don't show here but they are on the sides of the shape which is quite dimensional). I rifled through my stash of larger beads to find matching ones for the 'dangle' and to string for the neck strap. The pendant section is quite large and I think if I make another one I will reduce the size so that it isn't quite as long.

lovely Val - simple design that works so well
ReplyDeleteThis is so gorgeous Val, I love the pendant section, so unusual. Maybe you could try making the bit that dangles from the pendant shorter, that might make a difference.

ReplyDeleteThis is lovely Val.....love the centre piece and the beading on the neck strap. You certainly made very good use of the horrible weather!

It's beautifully elegant - I can just imagine a 1920s Flapper girl girl wearing it with one of those hip skimming tasselled dresses to match.
ReplyDeleteWet here too - very cold almost wintery.
