I recently made the worlds longest kumihimo braid (disclaimer: that's not actually true) and wasn't sure what to do with it. In the end I made a double wrap braid and used the rest as a necklace for this knitted copper wire heart pendent I made ages ago. The twisted wire necklace it was hanging had become kinked and misshapen so it was time to rehang it.
I finished this peyote triangle pendent in a bead class ages ago. I wasn't sure what to hang it on, then mum gave me this beaded cord. It was ready made, I didn't make it. I thought the pendent would be ideal to hang on it.
The only problem was that I couldn't get the beaded cord through the bail as the bail was tiny. I used a bit of wire to create a hanger instead. Perhaps not the most elegant solution, but it works.
I love this beaded cord and have a bit more of it, I might have to make a pendent to go with it... give me another year or so and I'm sure I'll get round to it!
So cute :)
ReplyDeleteI, too, have a whole selection of half-made jewellery. In my case, partly because I was waiting to buy some findings at the Harrogate Knitting and Stitching Show last week!
ReplyDeleteTwo UFO's done and ready to wear - very nice, Miss Wendy! I'd be interested in seeing a picture of your jewellery collection!
