I saw a
picture on Pinterest that is the inspiration for this necklace. To start with I looked through my collection of
Clare Gaylard's flamework beads. Then I worked back from there to choose seed beads and make up a threading pattern. Flexibility is important for this kind of necklace, so I used size 20 thread, even though the the circumference is small. It took me longer to crochet than I thought it would but turned out as I visualised, so I'm happy about that.
At one stage the thread with beads strung on it was getting into a tangle. I solved that problem by wrapping the thread around a roll of flannel fabric. Things 'stick' to flannel, but of course they come away without any sort of residue. It worked well.
That is STUNNING. Clever idea with the flannel too.

ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty, and the little leaves finish it off perfectly!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea, you could change out the bottom to match another outfit or season. Excellent execution, you sure are good at making these ropes.
ReplyDeleteThis necklace is lovely and reminds me of some my Grandma used to bead. So soft and feminine. <3
