My latest favorite technique is knotting so, naturally, i tried that. mmmm...has potential but it doesn't excite me. Good fallback technique if all else fails. Simple stringing....oh wait! there's more i don't like! I can't get a pleasing symmetrical pattern with these beads. Melissa reminds me that it's a CHALLENGE. Well, i'm feeling challenged alright! And have you seen the company i'm keeping? Yikes! They're scary good! Real beaders with vast repetoires of technique! I want my contribution to bring in lots of auction dollars for the Craft Warrior Foundation, too!
Then inspiration strikes! Not too long ago, i dangled a bunch of oddball glass beads from six inches of chain and added enough of a length of multi-strand seed beads to make a necklace. Customers loved it! That's what i'll do! And it'll be great! What do you think?
Yes! The chain ties it together really well. Is it a black chain? I can't tell, but it looks like it echoes the other black elements in the piece. And adding more black helps counteract the pink girliness of it all.
ReplyDeleteHope you will also post a photo of the chain and glass bead necklace you made.
