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!

Yes JerseyPearl that is my concern which just looking at the pic it seems I can only move it one to the right because they seem similar in size. I can't wait to get them and play with the layout!

That is good to know that you like that system. What are your thoughts on the golden one next to the big blue? When I look at it, it seems to draw my eye away from the big blue. What if I swapped the golden and the teal next to it so there would be 2 teals on each side of the center? They...

Oh thank you all for your kind comments! Cees was very helpful and did offer to put this on a harpoon system that seemed interesting. But I am not sure of the layout in the pic and wanted to play with the layout myself. There are a few pearls that seem too similar in color right next to each...

Pearl Dreams thank you so much for your links! I spend a lot of time here perusing and I actually did buy some beader's secret from Pattye last year but time has gotten away from me it seems. I have lots of gem beads and some earring findings from Rio Grande also. Thank you again. I am glad...

I saw Pareltje and Sanippy's strands from Cees and had to contact him. I love their strands so much! Such colorful candy pieces. So this will be on its way to me. I have no idea how to string but these look so pretty I don't even care! I love craft projects and have been watching videos on...
