Well I got tired of waiting for myself to string these. I contacted PP about stringing them for me and they are so accommodating. So I sent off the pearls, the clasp, and the teal string to them today. LOL. I wanted to have them to take on vacation to Ireland in the end of March and I knew I...

Haha Pattye those are Cicadalady's that are finished. She was kind enough to show the teal thread up close. That is what I ended up getting and thank you for your kind note in my order. LOL. I hope I can get to stringing them soon.

I got my order from Pattye! Teal, storm, and ivory thread. Needles and gimp too. I have some cheapie ebay pearls that I think I will practice with a few inches first though. I have not ordered my orbit clasp yet from Rio Grande but I have a few things in my cart there to get.

They are beautiful!

It turned out lovely! So much more interest now. Was it hard to do the knotting for your first time?

I love the teal! It is just a hint of color without being too light. I think my grey is too light.

Thank you all! JerseyPearl I think I will use a white metal orbit clasp to get a bit of extra length. But as far as thread color I have no idea. I have some light grey but that was purchased for some blueish pearls I have. What do you suggest with these colors?

Thank you! I am amazed at them and I guess I did not expect them to be this large even though I knew the size.

They are here! I love the colors! So beautiful and the surface is very good. I took some pics but I am not sure how good they are. The pearls I thought were too matchy matchy do not bother me at all and they look excellent just as they are laid out. I love them. Now I need to get to...

Beautiful!!! I don't have mine yet because I was going on vacation so he is waiting to send them. I love the colors!

Oh thank you! I did not ask that question but since he is holding off sending it until the end of next week I will.

Oh my goodness it turned out so gorgeous!!!! Those colors are amazing. Getting antsy for mine. What size orbit clasp is that? The larger one or the smaller one? I was thinking of getting the silver one that is larger to give me a bit more length. Ideally 20" finished would be perfect but I...

Yes great idea! Since I only have this one pic to look at right now my eye just keeps going to those 4 pearls, but may IRL it won't be so noticeable.

Oh yes Kat. I will be very careful. I may leave the big ones alone but in this pic the ones that bother me are the ones I have circled. Maybe slip that purple one down just one to separate those two. The others further up will likely be under my hair most times anyway.

Oh my goodness those are lovely!
