Well missed the deadline for yesterday’s post, oh well. Here is a necklace I just made from my stash of beads and findings in my beading area. These are very large Peruvian opals with a silver nugget spacer. Its about 24″ long and took me about 20 mins. to make. I saw a woman wearing a similar design at a bead show about a year ago and have stalled in the plan to make something like it, so this was an opportunity to open my beading shop for the design of the day. Beading is soooo therapeutic for me, but its way way on the back burner since I started web design full time. Too bad, I could use some mindless fun.
Oh I just LOVE them. So pretty!
I’ve always loved opals (first time seeing Peruvian opals!)- this is just beautiful.
very cooling looking. I took some classes but soon found out my eyes were not up to the job and even worst now. Keep your hand in as much as you can, I really liked doing it but it was not to be, I should have done it when I was younger. When you can create like that you shouldn’t let it go. I’ll be asking to see the next bead creation next month;)
