This was a project that should've been straightforward, but just wasn't. I won't bore you with all the things that went wrong, but the second-to-last straw was that it turned out the pink beads were not identical, there were a few that were smooth, not faceted.
I could live with that. Then came the final straw - I broke a bead. Because of the way the necklace is constructed, there was no way to shorten the necklace at that stage. I've put in a bead that doesn't match.
I can't sell a necklace with such an obvious flaw, which gives me a good excuse to hang onto Jess's wonderful sunrise thread! I'll wear the necklace to market and at least show it off, even if I can't sell it.
It's so pretty!!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely and radiates "spring"!
ReplyDeletevery nice, very pretty. Depending on the length of your hair, or the height of your collar. who would notice.
ReplyDeleteA good reason to keep it, since even with the off color bead it's still perfect.
