Still busy farming, still busy enjoying summer,
and still busy beading necklaces - my life is good!
I work, or should I say play because I have so
much fun, beading necklaces daily.
My routine is as follows:
My routine is as follows:
First, I decide on a color, or a specific
gemstone/stone, or a finished length to compliment my current inspiration. My inspiration comes from many
sources....my farm, childhood memories, events, places...mainly, my ideas
pop into my head as I relax in the serenity of my farm.
Next, I lay out a combination of beads in a pleasing
composition. And, I observe. I walk away, return, and observe
again. If I am not totally satisfied, I make changes to the beads/bead
order that seem more appealing. And, I walk away again. Eventually,
I am 99.9% satisfied with the color, bead choice, and layout. I string the beads onto professional quality beading
wire and make a final observation before finishing both ends. The finishing includes with some variation:
crimp beads, accuguards (further protects the beading wire at the clasp), crimp
covers and clasp.
Voila! Another unique, original, one-of-a-kind
necklace which I brand - necklaces…simply stated.
I have made over 120 necklaces using no patterns
and making no duplications over the past 11 months. And, I am still having a great time doing so.
My latest creation….Friendship Sparkle
I just love it.
