new necklace and need help with a necklace
Ok, I wanted to do something with this fun little metalic hollow, so I got
some delicas, which were a pain, but went well with my bead. I think a bunch of them ended up on the carpet and I may have swallowed a few. I wanted a short necklace because I have a few button up shirts, but don't have any necklaces to wear with them. Nothing real exciting, but I like this a lot. It's light and dainty. Ok, nevermind that my button-up shirts are red and blue. http://www.beadbimbo.com/ebay/hol1.jpg http://www.beadbimbo.com/ebay/hol2.jpg The one I'm having trouble with is this vessel necklace I was playing with. I took for strands and did a braid with them, but maybe it's a little two uniform. (Ignore the strand going off to the right. That will be the other side.) I'm wondering, if I can take that spiral class this weekend, I might have a better idea what to do. Seed beads are a big mystery to me. The other thing I was thinking was that maybe I should put more stone chips in it. I don't know. Any suggestions? http://www.beadbimbo.com/ebay/ves1.jpg -- Jerri www.beadbimbo.com |

I love the first necklace with the hollow. I can't put my finger on the
other one because I suck at design. I know someone here will be able to help though. -- Starlia Klopman www.klopmanstudios.com "Beadbimbo" wrote in message ...

I like it. Its kind of organic yet organized. Perhaps a few more stone
chips. Other than that I like it a lot. Diana -- Vote this November (U.S.A.) "Beadbimbo" wrote in message ...

I love them both, and I think that braid is perfect. But, I think the wire
wrap takes away from it somehow. It adds an element of "harshness" to an otherwise very organic, flowing piece. -- ~Candace~ Orphan Beads ~low cost and bartering for the financially challenged beader~ http://snipurl.com/6s4t Princess Auctions ~please see for most current updates and auction information~ http://snipurl.com/8s8o "Beadbimbo" wrote in message ...

Take off the wire wrap and string your seed beads through the handles of vessel for a more fluid look. Are you sure you've not done this before?

Thanks Margie,
The only thing about that is that I couldn't figure out how to make it multiple strands by doing this. I think I could only get one strand through the holes in the vessel. How would I add more strands? Jerri www.beadbimbo.com "Margie" wrote in message ...

Ok, I'll work on this. I just don't know how to string it without the wire.
I can get one strand through the holes, but I'm not sure I could get any more. Jerri www.beadbimbo.com "~Candace~" wrote in message m... I love them both, and I think that braid is perfect.

I think I do want to add more chips. Thanks. It helps when someone else

Thanks Starlia,
With my shoulder problem, I usually can't wear anything to heavy, and sometimes not even something light. I like this a lot. Jerri www.beadbimbo.com "starlia" wrote in message ...
