I haven't been able to get much claying in lately! Life if taking over again as we are looking for a mortgage to buy our flat, so far its been one problem after another so a much needed day out with friends was so needed.

| A Fringe Necklace |
I planned to wear a simple black chiffon top but as we was going from day to night I felt it needed something to jazz it up. I knew what I wanted to create in my head, it was a long seed bead fringe necklace in black, but despite my efforts I couldn't find a tutorial free or paid anywhere on the net. I needed to get started so I settled on a multi strand scoop necklace instead and set about threading my beads.

It took me three days to complete as I kept changing the colour scheme (an earlier version can be seen above) but finally decided on black and gold after I found a selection of gold beads from my old stash.

Another problem I had was deciding how to finish the necklace, some gold plated cone ends would have been perfect but as time was not on my side I had to settle for jump rings on this occasion, however cone ends can be added at a later date and I think my finished necklace goes perfectly with my top..

ReplyDeleteThe fringe necklace is lovely but yours is gorgeous! It reminds me of those necklaces that you see on African women who have the really long necks. Beautiful. x
ReplyDeleteAll those beads you threaded. It would've driven me potty! Your chiffon top is beautiful and your necklace goes with it really well. I hope you had a nice day out.
