Today was definitely going to be an easy breezy project. And for the most part it was.
Except.....
I wanted to thread freshwater pearls onto the wire and they didn't fit. Imagine that. So instead of compromising my design (never!) and using a different bead, i pulled out that handy little tool we used with the corks back on Day 7. It takes a bit o' time and a bit more patience, but i was able to ream out the holes for both pearls quite easily. I really think i'm just going to have to put that mini hand drill in my tool pouch and let Terry borrow it from me.
Supplies:
(2) 4inch pieces of 22gauge fancy round wire by Artistic Wire
(2) glass beads
(2) freshwater pearls
(2) 4mm jump rings
leverback ear wires
That fancy wire is quite soft but adds such a nice glint to the design that it's worth fussing with. So i fussed with it a few times and finally got it to where i was satisfied. Remember, this was to be an easy day. The glass beads are a bit large and quite clear and the drill hole is obvious. What to do. What to do.
Ha! Turn them on their sides! That's what i did. Day 15 is done.
Gone the sun. From the lakes. From the hills. From the sky.
(Was anybody else a Girl Scout?)
All is well. Safely rest. God is nigh.
And just nigh onto 350 days til i'm done.
I love these! I think this challenge is awesome!
