Linda's Lowly Beading Adventures

[A Breaker]

I was drooling over those too!!!! I love looking at jewelry!!! Then to get to see your stringing....just most fun ever!!!

Here they are: done! It took extra time, first because I work very slowly, and second because I found a major mistake halfway, and had to cut everything apart and start over.

Eeeeee I love the subtle mixed sizes! And that clasp is neat too, reminds me of crab claws.

 

[BWeaves]

Those glow. I love the mix of sizes.

 

[pattye]

Linda, just gorgeous! What is the final length?

I love what you’ve done with those pearls, Linda. Those strands of Akoya were so so beautiful, and you got three of them? You’re so lucky, they were simply divine!

 

[jshepherd]

Amazing! That is one very, very special necklace!

I'm starting on the second one... The first one is just short of 25". I like it long enough that I can look at it without a mirror! I'm also saving a few pearls out for earrings.

Linda, that is beyond gorgeous, wow wow wow!!!

 

[linda.wald]

It is really incredible... It is such a pleasure to be working with such lovely pearls.

 

[pattye]

Linda, Oh, look what I found today! I love your idea of 2 separate strands and imo, your pearls may have better luster!

 

[linda.wald]

Pattye: oh wow! They are lovely, but. The nice thing is that 2 strands can always be connected together if desired. I wish I could get a really good photograph that would do the luster justice.

And here is the second one, a mixture of the same 3 sizes but with a different pattern because I used what was left over from the other one:

Neck shots to come later; my husband doesn't approve of taking them with the shirt I have on now.

Love it! And love Pattye's example! I made a similar one to Pattye's example with left over pearls in a very random order. I loved it..for some reason it made all the variations shine. I need to make another and get photos.
