I finished the necklace in my previous post, but I want it to be checked by my teacher before I post about it, so I'll probably post about this necklace next week.
In the meantime, I wanted to show you a necklace/lariat that I made using Griffin silk cord. I used carnelian chips, some turquoise and some colored shell flowers. It is very versatile.
By attaching a clasp at one end, you can clamp onto any area and use this as a lariat.
And by putting a large stone at the end, you can clamp onto the end and use this as a necklace.
It took awhile to make this, but I'm happy with the results. The thing I really like about the Griffin cord is that there is a needle already attached, so there is no need to worry about threading the needle.
Bead Explorer of Boundless Opportunities of Beading, nominated me for another Rockin' Girl Blogger award.
I had been looking for Hot Fixx beads in Hawaii, but there weren't any to be found. I finally was able to get some here. They also sold the Kandi Kane, a wand that heats the glue on the backs of the rhinestones. I didn't know this, but it is one of those "as seen on tv" products.
I decided to "bling" up my jeans.
I also "blinged" up these cream cases that I wanted to recycle.
Whew! this one was a doozy! Herringbone stitch that spirals into a tube.
Then weaved these rings as decoration and also to cover up the areas where it is sewn together....next class in 2 weeks!
This one could take some time. It is a herringbone stitch tube necklace. Just 3 centimeters took 2 hours....
Well, I finished the necklace. Not something you could wear everyday. I took about 5 hours to finish.
