Hello all. This is my first attempt at hand knotting and beading. I rescued a 22 inch strand of rice pearls knotted on fishing line with a 14k Gold clasp. With shipping the cost was $30. I spent $1.50 on silk thread and $4.50 on faceted crystal beads. I figured if I really messed it up, I wouldn't be out too much money.
So after working and the last few days and driving through the terrible snow I decided on my day off to relax and try this out. I am happy to say it was so therapeutic and fun!
I bought the pearl stringing kit that Patti sells on Etsy and when it arrives I hope to try some more and get better at it in the future. So here are some pics I would like to share.
Here is part of the original strand after I took it apart.
Here is the strand finished - my attempt at a glamour shot.
Here is the strand on my neck.
Thanks for looking!
