I went to my glass club meeting and a gal was wearing a necklace made out of satin cord with dangles on the bottom. I really liked the colorful look of the necklace and knew I had to make a similar one. Here’s my take on the necklace.
It’s long and can be knotted or tied depending on the length I want it. This is going to look great with my black dress that I’m still waiting for the pattern to be mailed out.
My plans were to make a multi-strand necklace to go with the focal piece I last posted. It ended up looking way too heavy so I opted to use just ceramic beads and some Mykonos copper beads.
The necklace part is detachable and it clasps onto the focal piece so it doesn’t need a clasp in the back. The focal piece can be changed out to another piece if I happen to make another and want to use the same necklace.
This is part one of this necklace. I got the silver work done for the focal piece. I still have to make the necklace part. The necklace will be out of ceramic beads.
The big bead in the middle was made by Julie of Outwest Beads. I only wish I could make a bead like hers. Since I can’t I had to buy it. The little green – yes, it’s green, is out of glass too. I tried every other color possible but nothing worked as well as the green one. Oh well, sometimes I just have to cave and use my least desirable color…..
This took me a while to finish as there are a lot of beads in this necklace. It’s going to be a raffle prize. Hope it earns a lot of money for the charity.
This has a real spring feel to it. Hope people like pink.
I just finished this pendant. It was all experimental and I learned that I need to finish the back plate before soldering on other parts. It is way too hard to sand the back plate after everything is soldered on since the pearl hangs off the sides of the rectangle wires.
I do like the design so I’ll probably make another one that is similar to this one.
I made these beads a while ago and finally got around to stringing them up. I wanted to make it longer but I ran out of sterling silver beads so it ended up being about 16 1/2 inches.
I finally got around to threading some components onto a chain. Because I like pink, I used the pink components on this one.
I made this necklace to go with a black velour top that I cut wedges into and added some pink, black and gray sweater fabric. I previously made a felt and velvet pin and wanted another option for an embellishment. I won’t be wearing the pin and necklace together, that would be too much. Plus, I didn’t have a pink necklace so what better time to make one.
This is about 20 inches long. The sparkle from the dichroic beads look really nice on the black top.
I end up with a bunch of short ends of rods of different colors and after a while they start taking over my table. I decided to make some beads out of them. Here’s the results.
I did use a bunch of clear to encase the beads but the rest was what was on my work table.
Well, kind of. I’ve been making those goth girl beads and decided to try it in a pendant. Here’s the results:
It still need to be string on a chain or something so it can be worn. I haven’t figured out what I want to string it on yet. Probably something simple, like a black leather necklace so it doesn’t take away from the pendant part.
