This is indeed a challenge. Definitely out of my comfort zone. My first instinct was to just put elastic through a whole bunch of them and make a cool flashy bracelet. But that's not very inventive, so I went back to the drawing board and here's what I came up with...
A little simple, but that's the way I like it. A bib necklace of resin beads with some rhinestone accents. It really looks beautiful in person, but, man oh man, it seemed pretty hard to photograph unless I had the exact right angle or else the beads look clear.
Thank you Lorelei for organizing and stretching my imagination with beading.

ReplyDeleteYou and I had the same instinctive idea for a flashy, stretch bracelet! Great minds, right?!?! =) I love the way your bib necklace turned out -- it looks fantastic with a crisp white shirt!
ReplyDeleteI love the necklace and how the sliders fit together in the bottom part of the necklace. Simple or not, that is a classic piece, and gorgeous to boot!
ReplyDeleteSimply lovely!!
