Jewelry Projects

figure one: my new coral-themed necklace and earrings set.

figure 2: a better picture of the previous earrings I made

Figure One: I bought the coral beads and the double strand of reddish seed beads at Michael's on clearance.  Then I knotted together a bunch of linen-colored ecru (the thick embroidery thread used in cross stitch) to incorporate the at-sea theme.  I sewed on the red plastic french hooks and voila!

Figure Two: I wired together a bunch of small round quartz beads and some glass beads to each other and to a pair of black plastic french hooks.

WIP Projects: A necklace where the "chain" is braided fabrics.  I have it all braided, I just need to figure out how I want to do the beading.  I also bought a super glue pen to work on the post earrings.  I bought some freshwater pearl beads from Michael's on clearance that I want to try and use.
