Certainly not nutty, I was born that way (damn it, now I have that silly Gaga song in my head).
I was in a bit of a funk this week trying to make myself a super long bright pink necklace. I had the dyed pink Agate, the pearls, the clear glass beads… so what could go wrong with a simple repeating pattern? Everything. I tried too many times to no avail. Nothing was going to work. They are now sitting on my desk in a pile waiting. When they are ready to be made, they will call for me and I will then have my necklace.
I was wandering around the Chickenfeed (cheapy shop) looking for more canvases when I came across these gorgeous bright wooden beads. I knew straight away what I could make.
Hence the start of my going knotty.
This is the product of yesterday. I’m very happy with the results.
Ok, so this is not knotted, but wrapped loops and linked – ceramic beads with Swarovski crystals. Chain length can be adjusted.
This one – what can I say. Not happy. Too chunky, too blah. I was going to knot it, but don’t know what happened. Feedback is gratefully accepted – it will get pulled apart. How it is re made is another story…
And the beads that started it all. I’m going to hunt out more and make a short multi strand knotted necklace. This one will be finished with two strands in between the current lengths. I just had to order more silver spacers to do it.
Saying ‘get knotted’ my not be appropriate, but I’m saying in the nicest possible way.
