The Spotlight store I visit at Lidcombe is a large store and has a great variety of beads. It was here that I found the
JesseJamesBeads Inspiration Panels and Design Elements that I am starting to get a collection of as they provide you with a mix of beads that are colour coordinated which is the hardest part I find to do.
Then with some jump rings I made some
Double-Sprial Chain Maille, added a bit of chain and I have two new necklaces.
You have seen this one a number of times
and this one has navy beads that have a touch of green to them.
I really enjoy wearing these pieces and now need to make some earrings to go with both!

What lovely necklaces. Both are gorgeous. I keep promising myself I will learn how to do this and your necklaces have reminded me. Lovely.
Pretty! I've dabbled in some jewelry, but nothing real serious (yet) as I'm afraid I'll be building a whole new stash of something!
I love them both but especially the blue - I can see it co-ordinating with many things in my wardrobe!! Cheers, Karen
These are both beautiful necklaces Sharon. I'm going to have to follow your example one day - it is impossible to find nice necklaces for ladies of a certain age that don't look cheap. And how wonderful to be able to match the colours in the beads to your own colouring.
Sharon you are a lady of many talents. My eldest daughter loves beading and has a natural eye for colours and design so I have scored a few lovely pieces using glass and semi precious stones . I want to thank you again for posting the details of your brown lace top. I am about to embark sewing some ombré lace bought in Paris this year for my youngest and am quite nervous about it!
Sharon not only are you a very good seamstress but you also make lovely necklaces! Well done!
Thats something else I have is in my
list to do/learn
Cheers,
Therese
They're lovely! I have often thought it would be fun to make some jewellery. Perhaps I had better put that on my bucket list for 2014.
