Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

86Corvettegirl, Kanaloa sure put it’s tentacles to good use grabbing all the attention! He’s a gorgeous looking creature!:)
 
Inspired by those of you who have tiny pearl strands used as chains for pendants, I was determined to make one myself. The 3mm pearls were too tiny to double back to knot at the beginning and end, and the beading wire I had on hand was too stiff looking, so I wire-wrapped 28” of 3mm pink and white cfw pearls. I really enjoy wire-wrapping, but I gotta say my wire-wrapping mojo was worn out in the last few inches, as was my eyesight.

It was upright on my iPad, and is sideways on my Android phone. The flipped version is fine on both.
 
Parrot Lady, gorgeous wirewrapped strand. I wirewrapped an equally tiny strand last year and strained my eyes. Had to wear sunglasses even indoors...
 
Those earrings are such a fantastic treat, Red!

Those are some of my favorites of yours, BWeaves!

86C, Kanaloa is a real showstopper! I’m sure it starts many conversations with admirers.

ParrotLady, what a wonderful pearl chain you created. I love it!
 
Each time I see another wire-wrapped pearl "chain", it makes me more curious to give it a whirl. But not just yet. ;) Your new strand is beautiful, ParrotLady.

Kanaloa is so regal, 86C! I love seeing him come out to play. Wowzers!
 
Thanks, Jeg & CricketBug. Kanaloa will be going with me to NOLA in a few weeks. I have no doubt he's going to love the Big Easy!!
