Three New Necklaces

in #diy5 years ago

I have made significant progress toward using up my jewelry-making supplies. Two of the divided storage trays I got from the Dollar Tree are now available for other uses now, thanks to consolidation following the projects I have been posting recently.

This necklace features a variety of steampunk charms suspended between pink glass cat's eye beads. It also uses some of the charms from my Hobby Consolidation Self-Sabotage post.

The necklace above was made using a similar method to the beaded sections of the first, but with golden findings and bead caps. These beads are red dyed quartzite.

This last necklace was made by threading "turquoise" (dyed howlite) beads and silver spacers onto beading wire, crimping the wnds with crimp beads to form a wire loop, covering the crimp with a crimp bead cover, and adding chain and a clasp. The undersized display bust enhances the awkward way these beads want to lay as the radius of the wire curve is pulled tighter. I really don't like working with this bead shape, but I suppose someone out there would like the end product.

As always, if any of these strike your fancy, they are for sale. Comment below if you want to connect on Discord or steem.chat.

I always find it pleasant and inspiring to see what others are making.

Nice work.

This is lovely work.
I have tried my hand at many a crafting and art task in recent months, including a spot of jewellery making. Because of my epic fails I can appreciate how very tricky it is, and how good your work is.
I do have terrible hands for intricate work, Like having 10 swollen numb sausage thumbs that are hypermobile and arthritic...
I end up frustrated and squishing the fastenings with pliers :)

Thank you! Just remember, the advantage of posting stuff online is that I can just show the result of long practice, and I can omit failures encountered on the way. As with anything, practice is key! That, and watching Youtube tutorials.
