I made this lovely necklace before Christmas time and have been having difficulty with procrastination. I have finally put it up on
Artfire.com to sell. This necklace is made with two colors of stone beads. I was inspired when I saw the beads laid out in the store. They look beautiful together. The beads are shiny on the outside which is why it is so difficult to photograph. You do not get the true dark colors of the stone. The unakite is a forest green with pink and white swirls in the stones. The jasper is a dark maroon with flecks of black and light gray. They are reminiscent of polished granite. The stopper beads are sterling silver. The length of the choker is 16 inches and the closure is a strong magnet, which makes it super easy to open and close.
Soon I will put up my pink duffel bag and my pink purse.
I made several pairs of earrings using silver wire and my leftover Jasper Gemstones from the choker project. I think I'm going to use them all up doing different earrings. Earrings projects are so quick and satisfying. And the more dangly the better! That's my opinion anyway. I need more practice with wire wrapping smaller beads. I used to be great at it, but it actually took me several attempts that didn't come out well before I got the hang of it with the Jasper Gemstones. Of course I cut those apart and started over with those beads. Any opinions on how to display earrings? I need something simple and portable so I can take them with me to work and show people what I've been up to.
