I'm wearing this one today:
How I made it, I dismantled a turquoise chip choker that I already owned, yet found myself not wearing. Instead of making a plain string of turquoise beads out of it, I interspersed the chips with a pattern of tiny glass beads.
I am going to take some better pictures later on. I think it is important to take pictures of how the piece looks "on." Something that looks great sitting on your table, is not going to do you much good. You have to find yourself reaching for it.
Anyhow...recently I went on a holiday in Jamaica. On the way back, I had some time to kill in the airport (Sangster). There is tons of shopping in that airport. I found it intriguing that several beaded necklaces were being sold (for a good price!) in the shop in the center of the aisle. One was remarkably similar to the red crystal necklace my son designed...but instead of making an entirely beaded strand, the round red faceted crystals were joined by tiny lengths of chain...something I'd like to try my hand at.
Another necklace was one with the thousand flower design, oval glass beads, again held together by delicate lengths of chain.
Side note: hematite jewelry is omnipresent in Jamaica.
I forget to add below that the red thousand flower earrings were designed by my son. :DLabels: pics
